Help! Bazooka System In Polaris Ranger, Not Enough Volume

[cajunrangerxp]

I have a brand new Bazooka system in my Polaris ranger. System components are: Bazooka Blue Tooth Module, 4x75watt Bazooka Marine Amp, Two double ended 8.25" x 6" Bazooka Marine Tower speakers, and a 250 Watt Preamp 8" Bass Tube. I don't have a head unit. I play everything thru my phone thru the blue tooth module which has two (a left and a right) RCA outputs. I have these two RCA outputs split into six. Four go to the 4x75 watt amp and two go to the two RCA inputs on the 250 Watt Preamp bass tube. The system plays crystal clear and sounds incredible, but it seems that there is much more volume potential there that I can not achieve. I have my phone volume all the way up, my blue tooth volume all the way up, and the gains on my amp and bass tube turned all the way up and everything is absolutely crystal clear with no distortion. It is pretty loud but seems that it should go louder. I have been told that a line driver, like a PAC LD-10, would increase my input signals, which could be weak due to the 6 way split, and alow me to get more volume out of my system. Does anyone have any experience with this? Or can offer any insight.

I am commenting here to bump this back up to the top in hopes for a reply. I have ordered a PAC LD-10 line driver. Was only about 35 bucks. So a cheap and easy install to try. But I have like 0 experience with a line driver so I hope someone with some experience with this chimes in. Thanks

What are you expecting? No offence but that's not the best equipment

Well I was not asking for opinions on the quality of my equipment for sure. LOL! For my purpose (mounting options, aesthetics, durability and being mud and water proof) it is actually one the "best equipment" options I could find and afford that fits my needs well. I was only asking if anyone had any experience with a line driver increasing volume capability by increasing the voltage on low level multi split inputs.

Could you not afford the Audi A8, hense the reason you bought the Ford Fusion?

It matters for your expectations. I didn't expect my fusion to be as good as a A8. As long as you have the amps sensitivity set right it won't make much of a difference.

Well it has exceeded all of my expectations with regards to sound quality. It is a Polaris Ranger UTV that will be subjected to some pretty extreme wet, muddy conditions. I was not expecting to win the National Boom Contest. At full volume it does not produce any distortions and for the most part it is actually pretty loud. Just seems as though there is more volume potential there from what I have heard from this type system being pushed by a head unit in the past. I do not know of any way to set the input sensitivity on the amp.
