Sanj 0 Posted October 28, 2003 Hi guys I recently bought a Diamond Audio 12" (M6) subwoofer, the manufacturers rated the sub at 800W RMS I was wondering what amp I would need to power it :?: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furkz 0 Posted October 28, 2003 i used to run a 4 ch 600w amp in my old car running a pair of 6x9 and a 12" kenwood sub and they sounded fine 2ch for sub and 2ch for 6x9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sanj 0 Posted October 28, 2003 Bally I was given the sub as a present from my sister and bro-in law, I told them that I would love a Diamond Audio sub, initially I was gonna buy the CM3's but got a surprise when I was given the M6!! :D I'm planning to do a install, my other future bro-in-law does installs and I'm planning to get some serious kit in the car, I'm after quality not loudness!!! Whats your install mate?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Majik 0 Posted October 29, 2003 Hi guys...and welcome to the forum Sanj. I'm looking to do an install too, iv'e only got a kicker sub and amp. not too loud but good quality sound. I'm thinking about making custom side panels and false floor, so if you guys are interested we could do three at a time. What do you think Bally Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sanj 0 Posted October 29, 2003 Afternoon guys, yep was a good surprise getting those subs. Tested them on my bro-in-laws car and blew a fuse and almost wrecked his amp!!! :shock: He's running a 12" kicker solobaric, and the amp had no probs handling that sub, but the M6 is a different kettle of fish. Bally, my bro-in-law does installs as a hobby in his spare time, we had a chat and may start to experiment wih fibre glass and stuff, he's done a couple of installs for people too. But time is holding back things as he's getting married to my sister next march. Your right bout the weather too spring/summer is the best time to do this especially if your ripping seats and stuff out for the cableing. I'm trying to build my system slowing 'cos I gotta get my front end of my C done soon which is sapping my money :cry: More laters.. Sanj. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bally 0 Posted October 29, 2003 Thats cool he's handy with installs etc... always good to have someone like that in the family... :D The weathers one of the reasons I'm not rushing to do things to the rado now... but I'm gagging to get some sounds in there.. see what happens.. whats up with the front end :?
