The one on ebay has 4 vrms out, and the other is 3.4. But the one on ebay looks a little too cheapy.

Im looking for one that wont hurt SQ or have much (if any) noise.

I cant really afford the 40 dollars right now. Do you think that one on ebay will be fine?

Wow, not many people know about line drivers do they?

both of them ****. look for an audiocontrol overdrive on ebay.

Why do they ****?

I agree, both are trash. I bought an audiocontrol overdrive for 90 bucks, best 90 bucks I've ever spent into my system.

Here are a few I would consider:

-Audio Control MATRIX (awesome product)

-Audio Control Overdrive

-Phoenix Gold PLD1

-Phoenix Gold PLD66

I think you can't go wrong with any of these but I personally think the AC Matrix is the sweetest as you can use a two or six channel input. I envision using it to boost the line out of my XM system and my head unit. Mark

BINGO!!

Or better yet is to save that $ and wait and purchase a headunit that has a high voltage low impedence preout like any of the Eclipse head units. The more items in the chain from front to back, the more signal degredation and chance of noise entering the system.

How about this from Planet Audio? I would only need a 2 channel anywayz.

Does that look good?

^^That one I listed is over, but still, does that look like it would be something dcecent?

the channel seperation may be a little low on the PA unit. I've never seen much of a need for a line driver. is this for an RV?

No, its because my RCA voltage out is .260 v. Thats why. Channel seperation is not nessicary, because its for my subs. So does that look decent?
