Ok I need a line driver and I came across this one locally and it looks really nice!!
I was just wondering if it performs well bc I have a US Amps VLX-400 and need a stronger signal.

I currently have a Clarion EQS560 eq that does 7vrms but i figure it wont hurt to bump the signal a little more with a line driver...

Any comment on this product will it help my signal a little??

Just a quick note, that unit only puts out 8volts, if your clarion eq dose 7volts already, your not going to notice any differance at all

When I was younger I had a VLX-400 giving it only 4 volts out of my HU and it put a hurting on my 4 Orion XTR 15's

I honestly dont believe you are going to achive anything more if you only up the voltage by 1

Good luck with what ever decision you make

That system was in a 1987 Chevy Blazer with a 100amp Alt and 1 battery, I think its was a sears
with a Old Sony HU that was 4volt output, 4 Orion XTR 15's powered by the Vlx-400 and some cheap radio shack 6 inch and 6X9s for interiors with a Orion HCCA 225 running them

That was my second system I ever owned, i got it all used at a pawn shop for ike 350 bucks, I have no idea what gauge wiring I even used, my friend who was sponserd by Orion at the time hooked it all up

I loved that system the box was huge though, It had to be at least 10 cubic feet in volume maybe more

Now my first system was even older, whew.. but thats another thread

Later

Why do you feel the need to add a line driver to begin with?

And if you absolutely feel the need for one, get a good one like an AudioControl Overdrive line driver.

Just remember the more components in line of the siganl path, the more interference is introduced. So you may have a strong signal, but that signal is now dirty and you have regressed plus $80 out the window.
