high preout voltage usb sound card?
Anyone know of any soundcards with a high preout voltage? 4v and up. It
must have a USB interface. At least one analog input. The more analog outputs the better. |

I use a somewhat older subwoofer amplifier and it's tough to get it to full output even with the gain setting all the way up. |

Sounds like your subwoofer amp wants speaker level inputs. You could find a pair of USB computer speakers and use the amplifiers to drive your subwoofer amp. |

Can't you give it one? What's playing the mids and top of your car system? |

No. But 1v is too little to drive it adequately, especially on "quiet" recordings. Can't you give it one? What's playing the mids and top of your car system? Different amps. 1v may be too low for them as well. I don't know. Keep in mind that the gain adjustments on car amplifiers tend to go down to 0.5v as a minimum, with ~1v being more common. So to reach maximum output the recording basically has to be close to 0dB. And with a lot of filtering going on at the input (the amps are driving subs, woofers, mids, and tweeters, all from independent channels), it drops the signal even more. |
