I thought the cube already boosted the voltage?

Line driver before Bass Cube. Install it as close to HU as possible.

The BassCube uses unitygain, meaning what's put in is what it puts out. Example, 1v in/1v out, 12v in/12v out.

So yes, put the BassCube after the line driver. Besides, the BassCube would normally be installed in the trunk/rear of the vehicle which is why a line driver would be needed anyway.

Thanks guys. I have it hooked up like that right now. I am trying to find a TLD 66 to replace the current driver so I can boost the signal to both my other lines for my front and rear stage too.

I was wondering why you would want to boost just the bass signal unless you were going for a strictly spl use.

He does state he's going to get a TLD66 to replace the one he has, so at that point it will be all but, I do see your point- the one he has now was bought and used.
