I think the 4 volt preout makes a difference....just sends a cleaner signal to the amp.

When I upgraded my deck on the current car from stock to the Kenwood KDC-Mp8017 (mp3 deck) (aka Excellon I think), it did make a difference in sound quality (stock system so far)

how old is your pioneer? At 2v, it isnt that bad really..

I sense you want loud bass.. Having higher voltage preouts doesnt necessarily give you that.

At the moment, how is the gain on your amp set?

Hey another canadian! From where exactly?
