Finally decided

Kania2k1 · July 27, 2002

As some of you may or may not know, I was considering putting 4 10" JLs under the rear seat. Well, for financial and hearing reasons, I have decided to go with the 2 12's. Planning on running and orion HCCA 225 for the compnents, and a HCCA 275 for the subs. That's it so far.

I have a question about a Line Driver. I really don't want to rip out the factory head right now. I am eyeing the new Clarion in-dash DVD player, maybe later. The question is, how do they work, and are they worth it? It's gonna be a while before I got video. Maybe a year or more. Any sugestions? Thanks.

Don't know very much about the Clarion, but i've been eye-balling the Kenwood 911DVD (indash unit). Pretty nice peice. Pioneer does some good stuff too, from what i hear. Good luck.

Until my current Sony ES 9300 I had all Clarion and they are really good...If I had it to do over again I would have bought this Sony head unit they suck...

That's my $0.02

A line driver increases the voltage from the rca outputs of the headunit. Running a higher voltage through the rca's to the back of the truck (or car) can help reject noise. Also, some amps ,Phoenix Gold ZPA's for example, need a higher voltage on the RCA's to put out the rated power (there are not many amps at all that require this and I don't think your Orions do). I really don't think line drivers are worth it now-a-days with higher output voltage from today's aftermarket head units, but it might be a good idea to run one if you're keeping the stock head unit.
