Did I get a good deal?

I just picked up an almost mint condition Diamond Audio D5 1200.1 for $200 shipped. From what I read, they seem to be great amps and underrated. So did I find a good deal?

$100 shipped would've been a good deal...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

The D5 amps make their biggest output @ 2 Ohms, correct? Not 1 Ohm-stable amps? Or am I misremembering?

Still, 1.2kW guaranteed output (Diamond amps normally exceed rated output to some degree) and a quality brand for $200 including shipping....no, not a great deal but certainly you didn't get fleeced on it either. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif

Fully regulated power supply and is 1ohm stable. I've heard of some doing 1400rms.......

I'm hoping it will pair up well with the Fi Q with the bp option that I just ordered.

That wouldn't be hard to believe at all.

My D61500.1 is supposed to give a little better than 1.8kW @ 1 Ohm but I've not ever had it benched at that resistance.

I do know it easily exceeds its 750w @ 2 Ohm rating, however so I've no reason to doubt it would do the same at 1 Ohm. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
