preout help

[azeroth123 10+ year member]

So my stock amp (which i'm keeping hell or high water) has a low level signal out that im using for my 2 amps (4ch for doors and mono for sub). This signal though is a bit low, had it on a meter and if i remember right toped out at about 500-600 millivolts. I was wondering if anyone has any good ideas on products that might be able to bump this up a bit to the usual 2-4 volt range?

Any line driver, hell, even an electronic X-over.

You're stock amp has a line out? Or is this the speaker wires out?

the stock amp has a low level signal broken up into 10 wires basically going to the stock amp (8 for the +/- 4 door speakers and the last two for the sub) these are what i tapped into to not have to use the stock amp and speaker level inputs.... Thanks silver, i didnt know that the electronic crossovers and such could actually amplify the preout signal a bit, always thought that what you gave it is what you got out just crossed over.

Oh no. I had an Audiocontrol 215x which was a dual 15 band eq with high/low pass outputs, and at full power, it'd spit out 16 volts, from my 1.5v head unit. LOL.

Hey thanks Wrench but i actually need at least 5 channels in and out, its already separated coming from the head unit... I ended up getting the Phoenix Gold tld66 looks like it should work for a decent price
