Which is "better" 2v, or 4v? Im looking at buying an Alpine CDM-9823 unit for my 95 talon, but I'm not sure as to whether I should spend another 150 bucks and just get the CDA-9830...(the CDA-9825 doesn't fit)

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Uhh, hello? Anyone?

Seriously, its just a 2 letter answer. "2v" or "4v". I will be running a single mono amp on a subwoofer output if that's any help to you.

4 volt is better there is a less chance of any unwanted noise in the system

Also, pre-voltage is basically the amount of volts that are kicked out into your amp. The higher, the better.

4V is better. 2V won't necessarily generate audible noise in your system, but it's more likely to. Also, with 4V allows your gains to be set lower, meaning the noise floor is lower b/c the amp doesn't generate noise into the system by turning the gain up.
