DD M3 amplifier?

[SWEET06CAMRY 10+ year member]

Hey guys,

Does anybody have any info about this amp ?

My Kicker 2500.1 is not working very well, so the guy at shop will trade me the kicker for a brand new DD M3.

Is it worth it ?

Does any of you know the specs or have used one before ?

Thanks.

the M3 is a lot better amp...i'd never trade mine for a kicker 2500

I would do it they put some power out at a lower ohm but if your running 1 or 2 ohm load I would stick with the 2500 anything lower then that I would go with the DDM3

Yeah my 10' RE XXX's are dual 2's so I need power at two oms. Do you know the wattage of the DD M3 at 2 ohms ?

Thanks

You have 1 or 2 10s? you can run 2 dual 2 subs at .5 where the M3 produces more power then the 2500 but at 2 ohms the 2500 will out perform the M3

Sorry. I have 2 10 inch subs and they are dual 2's .

I was also thinking of putting 2 2000 rms Hifonics 1 per sub at 1 ohm each.

Would that be my best and loudest way to go ?

The guy at the shop would trade me the kicker zx2500.1 for either the DD M3 or 2 Hifonics BX2008's I believe are the model.

IM not a fan of the lower line of Hifonics amp if you plan on running your system at 2 ohms then go with the Kicker 2500 if not and want to run at .5 go with the M3

M3 wont do near the power a Kicker 2500 will do at 2 ohms

Kicker 2500 wont play at .5ohms
