Is having 2.2 V preouts damaging to a high output amp?? I know the 4V is supposed to give a cleaner connection, but when the volume is at a high level is this really noticeable?? I just bout a Pio deck at local store, wasnt premier, so only has 2.2V.. should I be concerned.. so far only running 1 amp at 600 RMS.. how would a 1000 RMS be off this deck? does it make the RCA cables overheat or harder on the amp in anyway??

Don't think you have anything to worry about!

If line out voltage becomes a concern you can add a line driver, which may or may not introduce some noise with it. You should have no problem with your set-up though. You may want to get some water cooled rca's though, haha just kidding:).

Just make sure you aren't clipping the preamp signal...
