Head Units with high voltage Pre-outs

[Slowpoke156]

Top end models from Pioneer have high 6.5V pre-outs. How will it affect the older amps which are probably used to seeing no more than 5V inputs? I see that it is unlikely that there will be any damage due to overvoltage, but probably have lots of amp clipping (and hence dead speakers) and be unable to tune for gain since you'll already be at the minimum!

 

Comments?

If the older type...0.1 to 2V...may ve a problem if u need to do a tweak on the sensitivty input....

The 4v ones may not encounter any prob....but pls test it...not veri sure of tis..
