h/u output voltage question

[Lucky 76 5]

i wanted to buy the new kenwood double din head unit ... it has a 5v rca output ... my problem is my rockford amps have an input sensitivity up to 4 volts ... what will happen if i run the 5v rca output to the amps? ... if i tune the amps with the h/u to say 75% of max volume will the voltage output be less (approx 3.75v)?

contacted rockford and they said the deck would be fine ... the guy told me he ran 8v off the deck and it ran like a charm

Yeah, you will be fine.

You have to remember that those output voltages are basically at maximum output with a 0db source. Neither of those conditions will be met when listening to music, so when listening to music the actual output voltage will be much less than rated.
