I've got a Diamond D9 and am in need of an amp. Here are my choices:
Diamond D6
Orion 1200D
Elemental Designs Nine.1
I'm leaning toward the ED Nine for price reasons, but I want some imput here. Also, I can find the D6 for cheap on Ebay, but Im put off by Diamond's warning that they are fake. Any thoughts?

Wow, just realized that i cant use any of them becasue its a dual 4 ohm
The only amp i know of that will work with this one is the jl1000.
Can anyone think of an alternative?

How many watts do you need? If your sub is dual 4 ohm your will will see 2 ohms.

The D9 sub does 800 RMS 1600 PEAK @ 2 ohms. I'm just wondering what my options for amps are. I've looked at the EDnine.1, the Diamond D6, the alpine MRP-M850 and the JL. I know the JL's the best, just looking for a cheaper option that will sound good.

Thanks for the ideas. Anyone ever heard of the Alpine MRD-M1005? It's rated for 1000 rms and I can get it for 330. I've heard some negative things about the Elemental Designs Amp.
