    Need new Amplifier - Diamond or Soundstream

    The Memphis 1000D is toast I think, so I need a new amp. Right now I'm running 2 Diamond M6MK2(D6) 12's in a custom ported box. I was thinking of the Diamond D61500.1 or maybe the Soundstream 1600.2 amplifier. I am looking for SPL and SQ, and also want an amplifier that doesnt draw a ridiculous amount of current causing me to get like 3 more batteries.

    Agreed. We dropped Soundstream and picked up Diamond because we were having too many issues with soundstream equip.


    To mod, or not to mod, there really is no question!

    alright guys.... so soundstream right? lol anyway I hear the D6 is just the right amount of watts...supposedly it runs at around 1800 watts at 1 ohm, which is enough to make the M6MK2s/D6s slam hard as hell, yet not blow them

    Riding home at night looking in the back seat and seeing a wierd face would scare the crap out of me. One reason I wouldnt own that SS amp
    Haha, I actually think it looks kinda stupid.

    I vote Diamond. Very nice amps. 1800 sounds about right for that amps real power.

    those human reigns are ridiculously priced....they're a steal at $2499...retail is like $4k or something retarded like that....

    i think your best bang for the buck is gonna be that diamond amp...plus itll match your D5 quite nicely...
