I just got Diamond Audio S600s component speakers & Diamond Audio M361I coaxials.

What amp should I get to power these suckers?

p.s. Also I'm thinking of custom installing a pair of 6X9 (Diamond Audio M391I) behind the rear seat(where the bose sub is). You think it'd be worth it....if so so I power these speakers too. If so would I have to get a separate sub or would a 2-channel amp work for all 6 speakers?

Thanks

The HEX component set has a crossover with outputs for tweet, mid and rear fill. You can power the components and rear speakers with a single 2 channel amp. There are hundreds of good amps to choose from.

I would not do the 6X9 install. I would go the route of a sub and amp combo. If you got a decent sized 4 channel you could power the components and rear fill with one pair of channels and bridge the other pair for a sub. Make sure you buy a sub that has a voice coil impedance and configuration that will allow the amp to perform optimally.

jmax, i noticed that you have the koda mid, why didnt you get the component set and where did you get the kodas?? i am very interested.

KPazzo, i would get a great amp to go with those great comps, preferably a ArcAudio, Xtaxt X604, or even a Diamond Audio amp. any of those and you cant go wrong.

The Koda component set did not exist yet when I purchased my Koda's. I prefer and actively crossed over system for flexibility of crossover point and powering speakers. I actually got the Koda's through ampmanaudio, no longer in business. Acoustic Visions is good, www.acoustic-visions.com. Or you can order direct from Adire.

Check out the new JL Audio 450/4 amp. it is 150W Rms to the front, and 75W RMS to the rear. This has all the crossover and level adjustments you could want. Should sound pretty good with the Diamonds...

I have the HEX 6.5 and the DA coaxials and I'm running the PPI 125x2 amp and its sound great. I also have a JL Audio 13w7 sub. but I'm looking into a amp. that can power that beast. I got my amp. from
www.audio-warehouse.com they have the cheapest price for that amp.

Look no where further than Diamond Audio for the amp. Like others have said, scrap the 6x9 idea and go with a dedicated sub/sub amp.

Those Hex components can handle a TON of power. Mine were powered with a Diamond Audio D5 600.2 amp (still for sale!!!) which is rated at 150x2 RMS. A recent magazine tested this amp to 225W RMS x 2 into a 4 ohm load! Let me tell you, your ears will not forgive you for the punishment of this combo

Hope that helps,

How much you want for your D5 600.2 Amp? I was also looking into getting a D5 600.4 which just came out I was told?

p.s. i'm also thinking of the JL Audio 450/4 amp that TAPOUT mentioned!

The 450/4 will look real nice next to a 1000/1 for the subs...just a thought...

The D5 600.4 has been out for quite awhile now. In comparison with the JL and DA...simply put there is none. I had the JLs in my car and they were replaced very quickly. The power supply is great in the mono amps, but the SQ just wasnt there for me.

I would say go with the DA from Mike, I know he took good care of it.

Listen to Don, for he is old and wise.

He has installed MANY of the Diamond Audio 600.2 / Hex component combos...he would not lead you a stray.

Also, you have a private message concerning my amp that is for sale.

Keep me posted,

where's your cane......

i have the D5 600.2 in my current setup. yes, it's loud, yes it'll hurt your ears cause that's how loud it can go and no, i still have yet to distort them. gain, 50%. can i go higher, prolly. will i, for now no...no need. =)

when i get my new toys in how long don, less than 2 weeks? then maybe i'll consider raising the volume levels a notch.

That's funny, if you had gotten the D7 in the first place you would not need a seperate crossover. These things are the **** for system flexibility in a fully active setup.

By the way Corey, bring that alt by soon. I am going to be shipping my stock alt away soon and won't have a direct comparison after that. I finally got ahold of my bud and he would be up for another alt swap. I guess it would be a Saturday a.m. thing as he works normal hours and that's the only day I have enough time in the morning to for sure get it in and tested. When we did myu last swap we found a leaky radiator belt and that slowed us down. May have been the radiator fluid that shorted out the alt, don't know. So we did a radiator flush and alt swap at the same time.
