The Diamond would be about the same, really. The Xenon OTOH, might have a bit of an advantage for specs alone.

Keep in mind that Alpine rates that amp at 14.4V, so if you're car isn't supplying that voltage, the RMS is going to be lower than stated (figure about 10-20% lower at 13.5V)

Nice setup you have. Good luck with it and keep us posted on how it sounds to you when it's up and running.

I got a set of those Crystal SSCS 6.5's on the way now. What do you guys who already run them suggest for a minimum wattage to power them? I know these speakers definately like their juice. The spec sheet at CrystalMobileSound.com only lists the max wattage, not a recommended RMS wattage.

Thanks for any advice.

anything from 100-200watts with do them nicely. look for the older punch line from rockford. they're pretty cheap on ebay and they put out some good power.
