Douglas New member Username: Deathshadowbal Post Number: 9 Registered: May-06	Posted on Monday, June 05, 2006 - 15:41 GMT What will happen if I use a line driver to increase my pre-outs to 8V when my amp is only rated up to 4V? Can I still use this line driver?

You would just want to have in mind that the possibility of damaging your subs would be one twist of the volume knob away.
