that definitely sounds like a monster of an amp. Well see if I can hold out for a month :/
Its a monster in power not in size.
It will easily fit in the fairing. The way it was explained to me makes tons of sense.
I can tell you it uses rail technologies.
Will one 600Watt Diamond Micro 4v2 be enough to power all six speakers with the 6.5s and 6x9s on one channel and the 8s on the second channel, or will I need a second amp for the 8 woofers and run the 6.5s and 6x9s off separate channels on the first amp?
The answer is yes, its an easy configuration but not ideal. You'd seriously under-power the Hertz 8's.
As with all of this stuff, get the product in front of the consumer and we will test the shix out of it. Until that point, dudes should not hold their breath. Way too many audio product snipe hunts for dudes to get too excited about this "leading edge" stuff. Just look at the extremely reputable BT4250 goat rope.
Just sayin.
Keep us posted when the amp is available and I'm certain the review process here will determine its ability to compete in the broader sled audio market or get sent packing.

Thanks Respect, for the direct answer!
In further research, I think I will use either a Micro 2v2 or Micro 4v2 to power the 6.5s and the 6x9, then add another amp for the 8s. This is perfect anyway, as it will allow me to do it in stages. Ill start with the 6.5s and 6x9s and see how it performs going down the road. If it needs more, Ill add another amp and the 8s.
If you can wait about a month, a brand name company is bringing out a 150x8 amplifier out that will work well in your setup.
Its going to be full range and the size of a Micro2v2. I have been told by them that the MSRP should be $399-$449.
Well before this thread gets way out of hand about yet another miracle amp, to the OP, the speakers you are talking about are sub par at best. Regardless of amps you choose those rf tms speakers will not give you a good sound. Kappas, polk mm series, wdx 6 motos, hertz hcx will all sound better than those tms65's. As far as the rears, the rf lid kit is a solid kit but the tms69's just stink. A set of wdx 6x9's or mille 690.3 will do you justice. I have not tried the polk 692's yet but here they are also a good sounding 6x9. Just food for thought.
