If all things are equal, having a higher voltage preout on your head unit means that the amp's gain can be kept at a lower level. The pro of this is that itll induce less noise into the system.

Theres probably more. h:

Line driver FTL. The more crap you add along the way, the more noise is likely to take get in. And what amp will he be using to ultilize that 9V?

4V is fine.

line drivers are quite commonly used in SPL competitions :P Heh yes 4v is enough for most people, but the more is better! as tool man taylor says.
