Can anyone tell me if there would be significant difference in sound quality if I mounted my line driver in the trunk (next to the EQ) rather than under the dash next to my head unit? I am getting engine noise from the line driver in its present location - and yes it is all grounded heavily to the same spot- and no the system doesn't have any engine noise with the line driver removed.

Thanks

I would rather keep it because the loudness processor on my head unit provides a unique warm sound quality that I cannot seem to reproduce with the EQL. Unfortuneately the loadness tapers off at about 60 full volume - hence the line driver..

Well...... You should always put the Line-amp as close as possible to the head unit, cause it amplifys the signal from the deck..... including noise. The output of the PLD are low impedence output(50 ohms)for long cables runs.

Which eq do you have? The Audio Control usually have a ground switch.... that would help to eliminate noise.

Edited: o.k. Looks like you have a EQL. with the EQL the gain has to be adjust by steps......so the PLD don't overload the EQL 's input for max out.
