The reason for this is that you are pushing more signal thru the line out to the amps and the answer is no it is nto the best thing for your system tho can not hurt too bad if only for temporary. Why exactly did you have a line converter before on the system? Your head unit should have had rca outputs already.

I'm guessing the pioneer 7400 only has one set of RCA outputs. Just guessing though lol

ya it only had 1 set of rcas on it,

but seeing how the cd player broke on me i put the factory 1 back in it, and wanted to put the converter on so i have some bump in the trunk til my new 1 got here
