Yes your amp needs 6.5 volts of input, the more the better...............especially those things..........more input means more output with those amps.......
hmm i find that most amps do not require more than 2.5volts of input. i however dont know about older amps, perhaps they do need all that voltage?
i know if u look in the manula for newer amps they say something like 0.5v-2.5v input. I know my amps peak out at 2.4v of input, the more the better doesnt work for them, they start to distort and i see no gain in spl?

Yuli, while your comments have some merit, you have to understand also that what a deck puts out and what the amp sees once it's way down the RCA's and whatever else is between the deck and the amp....................a head unit's output inpedence is almost as important as the output voltage..................while your amps may only take 2.5v, doesn't mean your amps are getting 100% purundistorted 2.5v..........if they did.............you will get more power from your amps and cleaner power................
with a 5.6v deck i dont gain anything with input voltage over 2.4v. you can probly tell i dont know all the theory behind it, i just go by what i see on the spl meter. even with my 11 volt line driver that was located 1 foot worth of rca lenght from the amp's inputs i saw no gain at anything over 2.4 volts.

Too much jokes!!!!!
Yo Tim, you're in BC? I wish you were closer man!! I would come chill at your shop! I'm loving those Ipod mounts! What do you think I can do with my door panels? I have a 6.5" mid, 4" mid and tweet to go in each door. I have no idea where to start! And I'm lovin' your vision with your installs.

What 'can' happen if you have a high output impedance deck and low input impedance amps is that the amp load gets too low for the deck (too much current draw) and the voltage drops off or the deck clips earlier. It works the same as an amp and speakers - you need to be aware of the driven load.
