I know we run between -10 to -18db to the FOH, but my new power amp says the line in should/could be between 0db to +4. Does this mean I should be feeding it signal from monitor out at 0db?
Line level to FOH vs line level Into an external poweramp?

No. This would mean that you don't have any headroom within the monitor out of the Kemper. What you want is to control your cab/monitor volume via the Kemper not via the power amp. Therefore: Power amp up (regarding volume), Kemper monitor volume down at around -5 (or less) for having headroom.

I think is an issue of the different dB scales. The digital output is measured in dbfs but the input to the amp is measured in dbv. Someone wrote an excellent post about this recently explaining it way better than I ever could.

Ok. This makes sense. Thank you, sir.
