change from 2v to 4v pre-out?

tl1284494730 · 09-13-2011, 02:32 AM

my pioneer nav system has only 2v pre-outs, and i really don't want to replace the headunit (i like it). the loudness on my stereo has gone down the drain though when it went from 4v factory to the pioneer's 2v's.

i have heard that i could install a line driver such as this and it would compensate for that:

OverDrive PLUS Line Driver with Input for Remote Level Control

does anyone have something like this installed? or can anyone tell me how this works, and how it's installed?

i don't want to buy subs, or change from the bose setup, or replace my headunit. whatever options that leaves me with to get my loudness back up, i'm all ears!

Why are you creating so many threads asking the same thing. We have advised you to get a new head unit, I would stay away from anything that boosts pre out signals.

because i specified my question, and deleted the old threads, and because this forum is for asking specific questions isn't it??? at least i'm not leaving the old ones

what i decided to do, after reading for hours on the subject on many other sites, is get the "planetaudio overdrive plus" to boost the signal. i've heard nothing but fantastic reviews on it, soon as it is installed i will post an update, could help a lot of people

Get the LC6i from Audio Control, they were one of the first to make Such a thing the LC6i goes in between the HU and whatever you have it going to with RCA cables, it takes your 2 volts and can bump it to 9.5v. it's very simple to set up. See install on they're web site.

This is the worst way of doing it.

have you already dialed the gain up on the amp to compensate? that should let you adjust a ways.

The bose amp does not have any gains to change.
