Just a quick question:
Does anyone use a Line Driver for the subwoofer applications?
Does it make an improvement?

I am thinking about getting one...but not sure if it is worth the money.

Thanks,
Kaos

Line drivers can help if your head unit has a low voltage output and you have to run amplifier gains too high, or you are running very long RCA cables (like more than 50'), or you are getting noise picked up into your cables.  They are a good investment and can really help clean up signals as long as your system can handle them.  Make sure your amplifier can handle the voltage the line driver outputs, and if you install one be sure to completely reset all the gains on your amp(s).
