    www.ebay.ca

    search for BASS CUBE... its a 1 band EQ that boosts the signal to a max of 8 volts and its adjuistable in bass up to 15 db... they are fairly cheap and your bass will be sooo nice after you got one...

    That EQ will do the trick for you, but otherwise like Travis said, a line driver.

    But most EQ's have a line driver function built into them, so you should be good.

    get a line driver, Audiocontrol used to make a good one, I think it was called Overdrive

    i don't need 8-9 V of preamp.
    i am trying to match my front and rear speakers with my sub.
    My sub has 4V preamp and my Front/rear speakers have 2V.
    so i am trying to jump from 2v to 4v.

    lol just lower your sub gain or raise your f/r gains, there's really no point to matching the input voltages unless you have noise problems and want to boost the line voltages

    my sub gain as low as it can go.
    i had to lower my speakers gain, because they were louder than the sub. so my hole system is running at half the power right now.
    i can't wait to hear it with EQ.
