If your new amplifier has speaker level inputs, then you are correct; you won't need a line-out converter. I have hooked up quite a few amps this way, professionally, and have had no problems with unwanted noise or distortion.

You can use the line level inputs, and will not need a line output or line level converter.
The only drawback is that high level inputs usually result in some type of noise or feedback. Either a whine or squeal that changes pitch with engine RPM, or a popping sound on sharp bass notes (kick drum).
I would definitely try this first, and if you have no problems- great!
If you do have noise or engine whine, I would go with the LOC and use the RCA inputs. Do not buy filters or ground loop isolaters and try to clean up the line input signal, it won't work that well, and you will end up spending more money.

I don't think you would need a line level converter. Just make sure that your OHM settings are correct on the amp for the speakers. On the amp you will see 2 or 4. Check your speakers for the correct setting.

They artwork large, yet if you consider which you're using the output of a ability amp, the noise floor is in line with threat to be greater than with a pre-amp connection. it is very authentic of the output from a television, because of fact the television's very own audio gadget can not reproduce low frequency buzz or hum. So the producer would not make low noise a layout precedence. Years in the past, Carver made one called a Z-coupler. Sonance makes one, yet i do no longer undergo in innovations the style #. (i think of it is an OP-3) I everyday to make my own, using 2 resistors in line with channel, one in sequence, one in parallel, yet i do no longer undergo in innovations the values or configuration. on the time, i replaced right into a B&O broker/installer, and an excellent variety of times needed a pre-amp point to hook up with different kit, alongside with encompass sound, or greater amplifiers.
