[QUOTE="Rashaddd, post: 4960690, member: 592162"] You can't just turn up an amp till it gets to whatever voltage your subs need (you can, don't.) If the amp is distorting and clipping at 30 volts, its not capable of producing the power you're trying to get out of it. A line driver will not have any effect on this. A line driver essentially lowers your noise floor, by boosting preout voltage, which means boosting sound/noise ratio. A stronger signal is less prone to picking up noise. Turn down your gains and if you want it louder..buy a bigger amp [/QUOTE]
