Why do you think you have to use a line driver?  I mean, unless you're planning on running 8 or 10 amps from that HU 2V outputs should be good to run 5 or 6 amps without much of any issue.

 

I think you're either over thinking things or you've drank the wrong Kool Aid.

i have to split my subwoofer rca since my voltage on my front and rear rca is lower voltage since i have my headunit powering my front and rear deck,also the subwoofer rca can be cut on or off through my headunit which is a nice feature if i dont want bass that day.....which makes my rca voltage on the subwoofer rca each side  1 volt......this makes me have to turn my gain extremely high.....which i would rather fix the rca voltage through a line driver and have my amps turned down low

No.

 

The voltage doesn't split, you are sourcing more current, not voltage.

 

The gain knob position is meaningless, having it cranked all the way to the right to get the level you want is exactly the same as having it cranked all the way to the left to get the level you want...  It means nothing...

 

You don't need a line driver.  When you add it, you may be able to turn your gain down, but you will have an increase in distortion since you added another gain stage (the line driver) into your signal chain.

I would just hate to see you waste money where you could spend it other places to get much better performance gains...
