[QUOTE="heimsothe, post: 8218144, member: 659179"] First, I apologize if this is the wrong section to post in! Anyways, my setup I have purchased are a Pioneer AVH-2600BT, an Alpine MRX-M110, and 2 Alpine SWS-12ds's. I am wondering if I need, or it would be highly beneficial to get a line driver for my my amp and subs? I ask this because my Headunit only has a 2v preamp... Now I am not claiming this is correct at all, but a friend of mine who knows a bit about car audio told me my Subs aren't going to be nearly as powerful or clear without a line driver because I don't have 4v preamp, so I need to get a line driver. I'm not sure if this is true at all or not and was hoping to get some clarification on what to do. What will a line driver do for my system as far as benefits, and do I need to get one? I've read that I can get just as clear of a signal with 2V, so I'm confused. Sorry if this is all jumbled up, I'm a newb! I appreciate all the help in advance. Thanks, Eli [/QUOTE]
