RE 12.1 vs Diamond Audio D3 600.1 vs Diamond Audio D7401

[folgrz 10+ year member]

which would you choose to power one 12" rl-p

im considering the RE amp cause its new and ive heard nothing but great things about the company and its more than enough to make the sub sound great and hit hard

im afraid that the diamond audio D3 600.1 would underpower the sub a little bit and i wont be able to experience the full potential of the rl-p, but i know that diamond audio has great sound. They also make excellent subs,amps, and other components

the Diamond Audio D7401 has just about the right amount to power the sub and i know that its going to sound good because of the quality of Diamond Audio

this is just a dilemma i have run into and wondering what you guys would so in my situation

thanks in advance

Out of those I would try the 12.1

You will have plenty of head room for the sub. And if you ever upgrade your sub or buy more the power will ba available.

Have you checked out other amps? Say the 9.1 or the Orion 1200d there are a lot of good options for a decent price.

ive been looking around at other amps but these are the ones that have caught my attention the most im kinda leaning towards the RE 12.1 though but just wanted to see what you guys thought before i made any intentions of buying any of these amps

I have a D7401 and I love it, but with an RL-p you'll want to be able to give it over 1000w. So I would also suggest the 12.1 or an ed9.1.

thanks for the suggestions guys

the 12.1 runs $369 w/o shipping correct?

eD 9.1 is 300shipped through GB right now

I have heard good things and bad things about eD so their shady business drives me away from them right now and Ive heard nothing but good things about RE. So im probably gonna get the RE 12.1

thanks for your responses guys
