[QUOTE="cebbeler7, post: 6710915, member: 619293"] Well it's more for the sub not really for the amp. Now a line driver can help put less stress on the amp cause when the lone driver goes on you can turn your gain and bass boost down and turn the gain up on te line driver. Your subwoofer is a very large speaker and it starves for power. It's only getting as much power as the amplifier is getting it. It's the voltage that pushes that power to your amp. So the line driver boosts voltage which gives your sub more power to feed off of. This results in it being louder, cleaner, and it's easier on the sub beleive it or not. With the voltage being up it's not straining as much off of the amplifier. But as for a four channel? You're powering 6.5"s or 6x9s. They are small speakers and don't need to be pushed very hard to make them sound good so a line driver really isn't needed. I mean they make 6 channel line drivers for fanatics that want everything to sound absolutely perfect but in my opinion it is a waste unless you are entering a sound competition. [/QUOTE]
