what would you do?

i have 2 sets of diamond audio HEX 600s powered by 1 diamond audio D3 400.4.

the D3 puts out about 50 rms into 4 channels. i've come to the conclusion that i'm underpowering my comps. so my questions is,

should i sell/trade and upgrade my D3 to something more powerful say a D6 or arc 600.4 or should i bridge the front with this amp get a 200.2 amp? for the rears?

also, i have dimming probs, i'll be doing the big 3 when i get the time. which setup will be better to prevent dimming probs?

HEXs definatly will wake up with more power,I went from 75x2 to

200x2 and it was like a whole new ballgame

10x more SQ

The setup that pulls less amps will be the one that creates less dimming.

Give everything to me. I will deal with it myself.

No more dimming problems! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

can anyone recommend me an amp thats similar to JL 450/4.

the JL is 150 rms for 2 channels and 75 rms for the other 2.

this set up would be perfect,but i don't wanna pay the JL

price tag? any ideas?

I'd bridge the current amp to the front comps...and then get the small 200.2 for the rear as we discussed! This will give the fronts more/proper power...the rears less...and It will balance out your sound-stage. (It will still be in front of you...not pulled to far back like if you have even power to the rears). DO IT! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

what about the dimming issues? more amps = more dim? thats y i was thinkin about the JL so 450/4 so i can send 150 to the fronts and 75 to the rear? unless of course, the dimming is not an issue.

How's that work out with the JL 450/4? Not familiar with all the specs on that...
