Yes it does make a difference esp if you have a longe distance b/t head unit and amps. In all reality 6 volts is not that high of a signal in the car/marine audio world. I am running a head unit that puts out 4v into a line driver that can boost it up to 12v...but my amps only handle 8 volts...so I have an 8 volt signal. As long as your amps can handle a higher voltage, then go for the highest you can get. It will be louder, cleaner and your amps wont have to work as hard. If you want a stroner signal, the next step would be a line driver. I would consider two options: a good head unit with a minimum of 4v...or if you only use an ipod, take a look at the Wetsounds WS-420( it is both a source, line driver and EQ. It is as simple as garbage in...garbage out
