[QUOTE="ktraughb, post: 7746986, member: 567457"] it was actually the opposite. audibly to me, i thought it was a big difference (louder with no line driver). obviously it wasnt. and im sure this can be attributed somewhere along the line of not clipping the amplifier and things of that nature. some spl guys have shown best results without clipping. some clip the **** out of their stuff and theyre loud as hell, too. higher input voltage and less gain may be less clipping, cant say i ever measured it with this system. yes the bass did sound cleaner with the eq/line driver installed. the strange thing about my amp is that gain difference even on head unit from about 1/3 turn, to 3/4 turn hasnt yielded audible or termlab spl differences. could be a fucked up up amp.
