titanium vs tdx

Yes, but I have sold and used Diamond gear for over 6 years and I have learned the Diamond philosophy on power ratings: underrated, underrated, underrated. David Navone just published his review of the TDX in November's issue of automedia (I think, don't murder me if that's not the right rag!) where he ran a 5000 wrms Crown amp at 1 ohm. He loved the performance of the speaker and he also indicated that the 1000 wrms number was little shy. But err on the side of caution, I suppose. Every Diamond speaker I have ever used, from the M3 coaxials to the TDX subs, has always benefited from some extra power. If the amp has a decent damping factor and you put it in a good enclosure, this sub will handle well over 1000 wrms under any listening condition. I have sold dozens of these subs since their introduction last year and I have only seen 1 blown up. Not many woofers can I say that about.

I said it before and I'll say it again: cream it with power and you'll love it!

curretnly i have a rockford power1000a2 amp that puts out a 1000wrms at 4ohms, should i sell the amp and buy a new one if i plan to purchase and power the tdx subs. thanks for all the help.

No way. That is one of the better amps Rockford had to offer in the last few years. It still uses Trans-NOVA technology, which is one of the most innovative amplifier technologies ever created. Get a TDX12D2, series it to a 4 ohm load bridge that Power 1000. Absolute kick a$$ bass.

You are golden with that amp, my friend.

thnx.
