Choosing an amplifier

TWYNBYZ

I bet your setups sounds awesome! Congrats!

However, I guarantee that your sub is not seeing 500 watts. It's maybe seeing 350 watts, tops. You have to remember that there are 4 additional channels being driven within the HD900. That has an impact on the amps ability to drive the sub channel. Also, as bigaudiofanat has stated, you'd have to adjust the gain on the amp and head unit to full tilt just to see that amount of power. At that point, the sound would more than likely distort and you'd probably end up damaging your speakers.

Like I said, I had the same amp as you. It was pushing JL separates (tweeters/mid bass) and two JL 8w3's in a sealed enclosure. Everything was processed through my Audison bit one. On many occasions, the amp would become exhausted and loose its musicality which resulted in a degradation of sound. If you play your music at reference levels (I believe most of us do), you will exhaust the power reserves of the HD900. That was my experience; however yours seems to be different.

To the OP - Per your post, you’re trying to decide between the Alpine M6 and the JL HD750. If you want to save some cash, go with the Alpine. I think that’s a smart move and is a good amp. By the way, what are you using to drive your front speakers?
