I've been using a JVC KD-A535 head unit for a couple years. The HU claims to have "2.5V x 3 Pre-Outs/Sub W. Out." I'm not sure if this means that its a total of 7.5V preamp or if its 3 RCA outs at a total of 2.5V.
I have had a Clarion EQS746 graphic equalizer/crossover that claims a "6-Channel/7-Volt RCA Line-Level Output."
Is there any advantage in terms of power (and therefor better sound quality at higher volume) with adding the in-line Clarion pre-amp?
Even if the head unit was putting out 7.5V (doubtful), would adding the Clarion add 7V or limit it to 7V?
How much impact does preamp power have in the end result?
