hey boyz, i have this amp layin around, and want to use it for some components up front, what component set would match these specs good? i want to use only 2 channels for up front and the other two for some coaxials in the back, i have a set of RF Punch 162 S's layin around, but i think they'll be sh-itty, any suggestions are appreciated:

here's specs:

Brand: Diamond Audio

RMS Power Output: 100W x 4 @ 2 Ohm
Peak Power Output: 200W x 4 @ 2 Ohm
Birdged Output: 200W x 2 @ 4 Ohm
Signal To Noise Ratio: 100dB
Frequency Response: 20Hz-20KHz
Input Sensitivity: N/A
THD @ 4 Ohm RMS Power: 0.05%
Ohm Load Stability: 2 Ohm
Low Level Input: Yes
Built in Cooling Fan: No
Bass Control ****: No
Dimensions: 13"L x 8.5"W x 2.25"H

 

Can't go wrong with some Rainbows

 

SLC's (by rainbow). get them from Pearl96Max.

what's it put out x4 @ 4ohms tho?

 

Nawww, bridge it....

Bridged Output: 200W x 2 @ 4 Ohm

That will make those Rainbows sing
(speaking from experience)

 

Yep, theyd benefit from a lot more than 50 watts rms.

 

Indeed.

 

I have the same amp. I highly recommend bridging the amp and running the Rainbow SLCs. I put my amp under the driver's seat and fits nicely.


Rainbow SLCs for the win over some Infinity kappas or something from best buy. (about the same price, but way better speakers the Rainbows are.)


I wish I had deadened my doors, but it's getting too cold here and I'm lazy and don't really know what I'm doing.

 

Don, how much are SLC's shipped to Canada brotha?

 

BTW, if i bridge that amp for the comps up fron what am i gonna use to power the rear coaxials?, right now i have jus the stock bose amp powering the stock comps and rears with the sub disconnected, but an rf amp, and kicker 12", running off a alpine 7" screen/ dvd thing

 

What kind of head unit do you have? If it's aftermarket, use that to power the real coaxials, or, do as most and don't run rears at all.

 

Crystal SSCS, Rainbow SLC, Rainbow Profi Kick if you got the money!

 

dont run rears at all huh, ya i have aftermarket, i guess i could power those with jus the HU huh, but no rears? what about peeps ridin in the back man? if i have quality comps, with good power will it drain whatever coaxials i got in the back anyways?

 

and by drain i mean drown out ***sorry***

 

Not if your gains are properly set.

 

What about the SLC's manufactures recommendations:
2-Way Component system
6.5 inch Woofer
62 / 60 mm Mounting depth

Maximum 150 Watt

Part number: 231150

When running 200+ watts, would you not have to worry about the speakers thermal capabilities?
I'm getting ready to buy a two channel amp and plan on running the SLC's with 100x2 @ 4ohms. Should I be looking for a four channel amp and bridge it for 200x2 @ 4ohms?

 

200 watt would be at max gain and max volume. Tell me, when do you EVER max out your system? You can bridge them, trust me.
