Diamond Audio D1s

With the talk about the Memphis PRs, the Diamond D1 are the same. They are capable of taking double RMS no problem. I had 4 12"s and want to run them again. I had shop coverage before, but I won't now (eBay). They ran two Earthquake TNT 2000s on them and they took it well. Then I got a D3 800.1 and it sounded better than the 2 EQs which were suppose to be 2000 watts. Then I got a RF 601s and it just slammed like no other. So my question is, should I risk running 2000 watts (Two D3 1000.1s) on them or get D3 12"s to be safe?

i run a 12"d-3 every now and then with an mtx 81000d at 2 ohms and it handles it just fine and gets quite loud as well. that amp puts out a solid 1000 rms at 2 ohms but in the near future i will be swapping it out with a fusion nv-am2500 which is 1310 rms at 2 ohms. never tried the d1's but the d3 is a good choice.

the d1's are very nice subs my brother is running 2 12's and they pound off only 300 watts

These can be hand pretty cheap on the Bay...was about to post about them too. Do they have good SQ or only just get loud?

They sound really good and can get insanely low if your amp plays lows good (like an old rockford).
