[QUOTE="Gebrochen, post: 5292734, member: 571890"] I disagree with your view of 2V. If the amp is designed or gains set for a 2V signal, you won't clip. You can even get a good signal off of 500mV if that's what the interface is designed for. You will only run into clipping if the amp needs higher than 2V signal for full power (this means you'll be turning your HU up way too far and will need a line driver to match the levels). You mention turning your HU up to full volume. You shouldn't ever have to do this. Yes it is true that higher voltages can overcome environmental noise, but you can have audio levels of 2V or less with no clipping. So, yeah, I do agree there. I would definitely want a higher voltage from the HU in real life. [/QUOTE]
