ya i've been lookin but there is not a whole lot of specifics I could find i'm leaning towards the PG because i agree what i have seen is that i've heard bad about the alpine and good about the PG. I kind of like the display screen on the Alpine though, but does it really have any purpose?

they can handle 300-400 from what i'm told but ya a 800 would work, i'm on a budget though so those other brands are pretty much out of the question

no their not sony lol would buy that ever ever ever but their not great but i was on a tight budget their infinity 1030's but i'm going to be getting some diamond Audio D6's eventually
but i added a new amp possibility how about the Kenwood Excelon KAC-X811D 800wats rms and 2ohms and 14.4 volts now which is the better out of these three?

ya they do have great sq which is good cause that is what i was lookin for but their 4 ohm svc gonna wire em in parallel drop down to 2 ohms and use a monoblock so ya they can handle right around 300-400 rms in the ported enclosure so ya which of these three are better?

how much is your budget. you can grab a xenon 600 from here for 350

that scree on the alpine is good if you have a alpine deck, and a fleet of the amps. you can control all of them from the deck. fun stuff, is all.

kenwood's new high end line is supposed to be pretty good. although, i can only vouch for the new decks. i wouldn't trust anything from their past.

alright I thought of somethin guys i if i get the DA D6 that needs 500 watts rms, but their dual voice coil so how does that work compared to the SVC and would the Xenon 600.1 power them at their potential?

No, the 600.1 is too small.

If you get the D610D2s, you'll need a mono amp that does 1000w-1200w RMS at 2 ohms.

If you get the D610D4s, you'll want a mono amp that does 1000w-1200w RMS at 1 ohm or 4 ohms. More than likely you'll be looking at a 1 ohm stable amp because an amp that will give 1000w-1200w RMS at 4 ohms will cost significantly more.

oh how about the Phoenix Gold R15.0:1 Octane-R 15.0:1 this one has 1000 watts rms at 2 ohms will that work? Its not stable at 1 ohm btw so would i just get the 4ohm dvc version and parallel wire or would I get the 2ohm version?

alpine 1005 k, and thats better than the xenon right as far as quality goes, cause i prolly wont be getting the d6 for a long time as in maybe even years so i dont want to sacrifice quality for the power for something that far in advance, i would just get a new amp i would rather not but would if the situation so required, so which amp would be better quality
