Audio Control Matrix

[236EAGLEXP]

My Sony only has 2 volt pre outs, and in order to get desired volume from system, I have amp gains at 3/4 plus..... Would adding a line driver like audio control matrix help clean things up and allow lowering the gains on amp with same volume.... Just curious how much benefit if anyone has used one

[236EAGLEXP]

I'm using one, so is Adam. It allows you to turn the gains on the amp way down and still get the desired volume. Hard to find a 6 ch line driver of this quality.
so the benefit of gains turned down and line driver is cleaner sound at volume? Will I also get more volume?

It allows you amp to amplify a bettter signal from the source...... It can make all the difference in the world...

Well know Im getting back on my stereo system again I was thinking about adding a Audio Control Matrix.How are they installed with a 5 amp system?Which one do I need.

I would assume at least one or two of your amps have "line-out" to daisy chain mutliple amps. Just link two with two others.

It has 6 channel in and 6 channel out...
which amps do you have running what?

[ROZ]

On my five amp system, I come out of the head unit with all three preouts, front l/r, rear l/r, subx2. Into the Matrix 6 channel, out the same. Then I break the front L into a Y that feeds one 700.4 for the left side mids, the front R into a Y that feeds a 700.4 for the right side mids, the rear L/R go to a 400.1 that runs the midbass and the sub x2 goes to a 900.2 that runs two subs and out of the line outs of that amp to another 900.2 that runs the other two subs.
If I knew your layout, I could easily tell you how to best hook it up.
I think he has 2 1000/1 's...He can link the 2 amps through 1 of the amp's preout to eliminate using a y from the matrix... don't remember the other stuff..

2 1000/1 to 4 subs and 3 300/4 to 7 pairs of 6.5.

2 1000/1 to 4 subs and 3 300/4 to 7 pairs of 6.5.
The 300/4 don't have preout, so you'll have to use a pair of y adaptors to split a channel from the matrix to 2 of your 300/4's as SWB suggested ..
remote turn on
constant 12v
ground
deck's rca's into the matrix 6 channels via rca's mount matrix close to deck so you don't need another 3pair of long rca's.. Also it helps keep noise down withou t having the source far from the procesor...
2 channels of rca's from marix to 1 3004
2 channels frommatrix to y adaptors splitting rca's to go to 2 3004's
2 channels lowpass from matrix to the first 10001, and then preout rca's from 10001 #1 to input rca's on 10001 #2
dial it in a nd you're good to go

If you have noise in a boat, you've really got something f'ed the hell up. :D
Oscilliscopes don't lie...Doesn't mean you can hear it though...
rca run between a processor and the source is better to be short than long...

Who has the best pricing on these.

[BADASS38CHEVY]

Hey SWB,which one can you get and can you install at your place in Big B. I need to have you take a look a my system.Only right side subs are working.Amps on no sound.

[BADASS38CHEVY]

I can get you a Matrix, they only make the one piece. Yeah, I can probably put it in for you, hopefully not a huge ordeal. Tell me how far away you think it will be from either the head unit of the amps, because you need 3 more sets of RCAs too. I can look at your system, we'll be up probably around 9pm on Thursday night. I'll bring my tools and call the AC rep on Monday to get you a piece before I leave.
SWB, the distance from amps to head unit in no more than 7 ft.If you could do that ,that would be awesome.We will be there from the 23rd till the 5th of June.See ya there.

[BADASS38CHEVY]

The amps are located underneth the seat back rest just to the left of the head unit.Here is some pics.http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/520/2760stereo_pics_001.jpg ,http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/500/2760parker_pics_1_041.jpg
