All hail line drivers!!!!
#1
I have an audiocontrol overdrive in my car that I was using for my subwoofer and I tried it out today on my front soundstage and HOLEY CRAP it makes everything sound a lot better. The line driver is only turned 1/3 and the gain on my amp (8 volt input max) is all the way down. All of a sudden the JL 300/2 has no problem squeezing everything out of the 6 speakers it's pushing.
If any of you SQ lovers haven't tried a line driver out I recommend it big time.

I bought mine used for $100. Brand new they are around $180 for the 2-channel and 370 for the 6 chanel. Phoenix Gold also makes a set of line drivers and I think they retail for a bit less. Definately worth every penny.

Hey Kevin (zzzzzzz)
Phoenix has a 4-channel line driver that will give you up to 11 Volts RMS on the output. (yes your Tantrum amps can handle that)
You can get that for around $249
2-Year warranty on that piece too. Talk to CEM if your'e interested. I can arrange for them to get you one.

Any signal noise associated with the addition of the line driver?
I never had any luck in SPL with boosting the input signal voltage; it always added noise to the system ie, almost faint sounding hum, or on/off pop. This was with a PLD1.
