Hey, I have the Diamond D361 and they are rated at 60 watts RMS. I have a Diamond D3 400.4 that pushes 57 watts RMS each into 4 channels. My question is what is the most amount of watts I can put to these speakers with careful gain control?

 

You can run just about any amp on them. I recall a while back someone was using Precision Power 1000w amps on the mids' and highs'.

 

That should be enough but crossover point is more important to me.

 

Although the amp will run the speakers no problem, it is a little "underpowered" but as long as you do not drive the amp into clipping constantly, you should have no problem. 94

 

Whoops I should rephrase my questions. Will I be able to put an amp that puts out like 75-100 watts RMS onto the speakers?

ahh.. cool. well recently my front right tweeter stopped working for some reason. i might replace my frontstage with the HEX S600s/s600a. do you think they will be able to handle 182 watts RMS? I plan to bridge my d3 400.4 and power my rear stage with my headunit

 

Do you have a link to the amp and speakers? 94

They are actually 182 x 2 at 4 ohms according to my manual.

It should work just fine. 94
