Line Drivers

[CrazyKenKid 64]

So a friend told me about line drivers and i was wondering should i be using one? is the advantage they offer that great? and why would i need one? like if i run a dmm over my rca and they are getting around 1volt should i be using a line driver to help out my rca so i don't have to turn my gains so high?

also do i need one for all my rca's (fronts, rears, subs?). also do yo use one? And if you do use one which one do you use?

I added the option for sometimes, because for me it really depends on the install.

Maybe a better question would be why. I'd be 95% of line drivers are installed for all the wrong reasons and most likely you don't need one, but when you ask an open question and don't share why you will get crap advice.

umm i c. interesting point you have there. but ya i don't think i will be getting a line driver because I don't think i need one. Currently i am quite pleased with the performance i am getting out of my speakers and don't feel the need to get a line driver plus i am not a competitor or anything i am more of a stop sign and stop light bumper kind a guy lol!!
