I have an audiobahn a8000t amp. 800rms watts and 2 12" subs. Im wondering what preamp volts of a head unit i should get to get good output from my amp. Is 4 pretty good, or should i go higher like 5 or 6.5!!?

just trying to give you some advice by answering your question, don't want none don't ask questions you seem to know the answer to already.

you can go with 4 and be perfectly happy, thats just about the norm for preamp volts. most premier have about 5-6.5volts, and eclipse run up to 7 or 8 i think. either way you go you'll be good, just depends what hu you want.

it'll work just remember to set your amps input to the same as the hu's output.

2.2 volt my bad. Would it be ok to get a deck that puts out 2.2 volts for the preout voltage? Thanx.

Why do those lineout converters suck behind the factory deck? Or what ever their called. About how much voltage does it put out? Thanx.

on your amp if their aint numbers it should at least have a range. like right now i'm running 2 pg 400.1 and they don't have every number on it just a range from something like -2 to 8 so i just slowly turned it up to where it would match my prevolt outputs. you'll probably be able to tell because you'll hear the difference as you tune it.

other than the indash kit you should only have to buy a wiring harness kit, which shouldn't run you more than about $15.
