arc audio or diamond audio amps?

[joshualittle]

Hey everyone I'm new to the message forum and am planning to build a system for my 1991 cadillac sedan deville. However I can't decide whether to go with arc audio or diamond audio amps! I am deciding on whether to go with an arc audio 1000x1 for 2 jl audio 13 w6 subwoofers and an arc audio 700 watt 4 channel amp for an mb quart qsd 213 5 1/4 inch component set and mb quart 6x9's. Or and it's a big or a diamond audio d6 1200.1 for the 2 jl subs and a 700 watt 4 channel diamond audio d6 amplifier for the mb quart component set and 6x9's.

i'd do the diamond audio amps, if you haven't purchased the JLs yet, i'd go with the AQ2.5 instead they are in about the same price range. Love the Quarts.

I would go with Diamond Audio.

I have a D5 1500.1 for sale if you are interested.

The AQ and JL are not in the same league. Totally different goals for the two.

i myself would go with the arc amps. i think the quality of the arcs are better then the diamonds. now the old diamonds were good but the new are so so.

i think you can't go wrong with both of those brands. i've never owed any, but i've never heard any bad things about them on here.

What ?!?! Their amps have been outsourced since the move to AZ from Santa Monica around '04. Rikki got greedy and wanted more money rather than producing the Esoteric products they bought. Everything then shifted to China which is when they were no longer Esoteric, Eton or LPG.
