Hey could I get some help? I need a recommendation on what type of amp to buy. I was thinking about buying 2 Diamond Audio D612D4 12" subs, what kind of amp or amps should i buy to power them? I heard kicker is good match up? can spend around 300 on the amp.

If you want to truly power those subs right $300 ain't going to do it...those subs are rated for 500rms each and can take at least another 100rms beyond that (if you're enclosure is right anyway).

you can get a refurbed or used Kicker SX1250.1 for about $400-$450 and you'll probably need to upgrade you electrical system if you do (just assuming)

that would be perfect and if you type "forum" in the search box you can get it for $315.

kklagge. For 300$ he can get a nice amplifier. They're dual 4 ohm. You need 1000w rms at 1 ohm. You can get a soundstream PCA 1000D, even a refurbished kicker kx 1200.1 can be had for 300$.

I have a brand new Orion HCCA D2400 for sale for $300 shipped. It is straight from Directed, so you will keep the manufacturers warranty/2 year.

I have two Diamond D6 12 getting pushed by an xtant x1001 1000 watts rms in my 2006 altima. It hits very hard and clean. I am upgrading because my wife is taking this car and im putting everything in 1994 cadillac deville so Im getting two more d6 so id be willing to sell my xtant x1001 with LQF45 module installed for 450 shipped.Xtant makes very good quality amps. I can take pictures of the install for you. Amp is flawless. except a few scratches on the chrome. if interested LMK.
