bunch of diamond haters. =)

i love diamond..theres a shop in elmhurst that swears bythem over everything and i used to think diamond was like hifonics type stuff untill i heard them..but in this situation with only 500 watts a sub the w6 would be perfect for them..i think to truly get your moneys worth out of a d6 it would like 750 watts to 900 watts

I dont have a whole lot of experence with diamond, but I can tell you I've never had a Bad experence with diamond. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

good point, but with a 1000/1 couldnt he wire it somehow to produce 1000wrms to each sub?

im sure he could,but i dont have much experience with jl amps so dont know how hot it would get..i love jl's component speakers and subs but i really dont like there amps..for the money you can get other quality amps with much more power.

from what i read, 1000/1 is stable to 1.5 ohm. So if he bouight 2 2ohm dvc, wired to a 2ohm load, his jl amp would put out 1000 x 1@2ohm.

diamonds, Jl w6's are decent but w7's are just loud midbass...

That amp produces 1000 watts (or a smidge more) at any resistance level within it's operating specs. So he could only get 1000 watts total, or 500 to each sub.

He could also get 2 dual 4 ohm subs and wire it to 4 ohms. This would get him the same power with less current draw on his electrical system. The slash series amps are inefficient enough when it comes to needing juice to reach rated power. It is best to shoot for higher ohm loads if possible.

My vote is for 2 12w6v2s //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i want to get the w6's.. i will just make a lil more room so i can get the rest of the space needed.. and i dunno much bout the ohms and stuff so i would have to have someone tell me how to wire it all.

dub 6's (haven't heard that diamond model so i can't comment on it) or a single dub 7
