[QUOTE="jujumantb, post: 1095331, member: 555241"] On the same note, I'd like to bring up psychoacoustics for a second. Dont underestimate it... I myself have been a victim with this very same preout voltage issue. My deck had 2v outs and I had lots of alt whine. zeb had some nice line drivers for very cheap so I picked one up to see if it would get rid of my noise. This was before I knew facts about preout voltage.. like some of you, I also thought higher voltage meant better SQ. After installing it, my noise was all gone, but I also swore up and down the sound seemed "tighter", it was something I couldnt explain but it sounded better to me. Over a year later I was redoing my trunk and had the linedriver bypassed and totally forgot about it... NO change in sound. I have it hooked back up now but doing some simple a/b testing there is not the difference I claimed when I first put it in, expecting better SQ. Its really important to understand this stuff, your mind is extremely powerful and can hear what you want to hear and not always what is really there. [/QUOTE]
