[QUOTE="spoonraker, post: 3281422, member: 570956"] A line driver doesn't magically make your system play louder. Unless you have an input voltage so low that your amp can't amplify the signal enough to get full power, a line driver will do nothing. If you are right on the borderline it might be worthwhile because it will help you prevent clipping. Keep in mind that when you increase the input voltage, you have to decrease the gain, otherwise you will get clipping. If you have a system tuned so that you are already pushing your amp anywhere close to it's limits and you increase the input voltage 4V or more like most line drivers will do, you will get severe clipping.
