diamond audio?? any good..

[rregl 10+ year member]

I was looking at these subs.. Diamond Audio Technologies - D3 Subwoofers diamond audio d310.2 2 ohm..

I was just curious if anyone was running them.. I am looking for a daily bumper with decent spl and decent sq.. I had a sony xplod that I am replacing.. and looking to maybe get a bit more.. without spending much more than it would cost to replace..

what I need.. 400rms.. dvc 2ohm so I can run it series mono for a 4 ohm load.. sealed or ported.. good! no BP... Price limit under 150! would like to stay around 10" or under due to a small trunk and would like to still have some room..

going into a 240 sx coupe...

Thanks Guys.. any helps appreciated.. as my cost level is putting me into brands I find unkown!

so will it outdo the junk sony it replaces?

looks really nice.. looks like it hits harder than the sony by the videos.. but your running two so I'm not sure how much difference that will make..

I may try.. but I'm not sold yet..

dude it will blow that sony shit out of the water. these drivers have very good sq also. they're rated 400rms, but i'm sending them 600rms with absolutely no problems at all.

^almost everything is better than sony

the diamond hex's are beasts. D3's are pretty nice, but for some nice budget subs i would go with a Audioque SDC2.5 or SSA Dcon...or maybe even a Sundown Sa-8

if I could get a hold of a sa-8 2 ohm.. I would like it.. my sa-12 outpounds all my friends gear.. and I cant even stand to turn it up all the way for more than a minute!

diamond is a solid company, and quite a bit better than sony

i had a pair of 10" D3's a couple years back running off a RF T1000.1 and it POUNDED! Sounded great as well. One of my better setups I have ever had. But something about my old alumapro alchemy's, i think I would run those over the D3's.

Diamond is a very respectable company. Sony not so much anymore. I used to run some of their hu years ago. Even those have fell by the wayside in quality today.
