Which amplifiers are compatible with 8 V line input?

Howdy,

Which are the good brand amplifiers capable of line input of 8 Volts from the HU pre-out?

Thanks!

8V? oh really. i know Memphis M class and up will take up to 10V rms. most will only be readily able to take 6V maybe 7V rms but sending the amp slightly more pre-amp voltage won't hurt anything unless it's drastically more.

Is that 8 volts single ended ground referenced, or a balanced line with 2 RCAs per channel?

Yep! Eclipse CD7200 MkII have 8V pre-out lines. Thanks for your input.

Well, it's a regular HU with 6-channel 8-volt preamp outputs, a pair for the front, another for the rear and one for sub.

Yeah I remember Eclipse doing that and people looking for amps to match. Dunno if anybody ever found one. A post above mentions Memphis but I don't see any specs on their amps' sensitivity range.

Don't run the volume all the volume all the way up and you won't get 8v
