ok auto maniacs! Ok i have 2 diamond audio TDXs 2ohm im redoing my system i need an amp thats atleast 1600 rms. what do you guys recommend. i was runing 1 diamond audio 1200.1 but it was not enough something good at a good price!

 

diamond d3 1500.1 from Don.

 

Man 1.2 Kilowatts not enough.........

 

yeah i think i need something more powerfull! my d5 1200.1 shutting off when i had it da vol too high.

 

this has nothing to do with the amp...it is how it is setup.

 

well the amp was set to a 1ohm so a total of 1200 rms.its a mono amp so how else would i set t up. but each sub goes a min of 800 rms

 

Sounds like your gains were probably not setup properly.

 

Well I Messed Around With The Gains But No Still Had A Problem, So I Got Rid Of The Amp And Now Need A New One. What Do You Guys Think About Ma Audio,hifonics,powr Acoustiks, Or Orion Amps The Have Some Nice Mono Amps Over 1800 Rms?

 

how much are you selling this DA amp? I'll take it for $100.

 

Da Amp Is Sold Alreadyand Got $300 For It!

 

The D5 1200.1 kept shutting off due to the fact they had severe thermal issues running at 1Ohm.

Why are you so eager to go with more power? Are you readin too much into the numbers on the subs perhaps?

What alternator do you have?

 

Definately go with one of these brands, it will be a big improvement over teh Diamond....

 

well i still have the stock alternator. i know it was taken and changed on th recall they alt. had by the previous owner. well im not to eager to go with more power just something that will hit these subs and not shut off.

 

Then your better off with a 1K watt amp anyway. High efficiency amps are your friend. Youll never see much more than that. It defies the laws of physics to do so.

 

ok so what would you recommend!!

 

wow, a DA 1200.1 wasn't enough? maybe you hearing is cutting out?

 

I can tell you this. I have a D6 1500.1 on my pair of TDX 12"s and it isn't enough. These subs are still underpowered. If I had to do it all over again, I would have done a D61000.1 or a D61500.1 on each sub. The latter is def ovekill. Don't get me wrong, it gets down with the one amp, just falls a bit short of their capablities.

 

depends on your budget. Your local to me, so the possibilities are endless...

 

Gibi,

Unlike yours, it sounds like he had a first gen D5, which had a slew of thermal issues.

 

Thats cause your a basshead.

Like I said earlier, high efficiency amps, with decent power is more than enough. Dont ya remember I used to run these?

 

..I wish i was more local..

 

Blah, your local enough, just a bit of a drive...

 

ok Don shoot me some prices! top 3 amps to run these but wont hurt my pocket 2 much.

 

I most definitely am.

I have a hard time remembering all the amps you have had.

 

It would be much easier to give me a budget to work within first.

 

So do I.

 

well im not looking to spend under $500. thats why i thinking the diamond d6 1500.1 or a couple others.

 

so something greater than $500? Get an arc amp... not everything is in the power ratings u know... xxk1500 would be great im sure.

 

i think he might mean a max budget

 

Not UNDER $500?

 

Ya I'm sure he meant not over $500

 

my bad! my limit is $500

 

Don so did you find any amps around that price range.

 

yea I think I have a few in mind. Ill confirm tomorrow.

 

just get an eclipse 7232 and call it a day.
i'm happy with mine.
they pound my TDX's very well.

 

xtant 1001d for each
thats what i have on mine.
