Good question. IMHO, if you get that JL stealthbox, you're going to need more power. You Diamond Hex units (sa-weeet!) are also gonna require boo-koo power to sound the best......They're really stiff. Personally, I'd have gone with 2 amps. But you're not out anything by trying that setup first. Go for it. Have you posed your question to the pros over on:

Several install pros are always answering questions there. You'll get qualified advice (Not that you don't here....It's just nice to have different viewpoints)

Sundog7,

Nope haven't posted over there yet... thought I would see the response here first. Headed over there now to post. I haven't bought the Alpine yet... just wondering since a local stereo install place said they would probably use that one. I don't trust them though.

Thanks,

Opinions on Alpine MRV-F407 (with Diamond Audio S600s)?
 

Hey guys...

Someone suggested that I look into using this amp to power the front two speakers (Diamond Audio S600s HEX) in my F150, and then bridge the other two channels to power a sub (undecided on sub... possible JL Audio Stealth in center console).

Anybody use this sucker? Thoughts? Do you need the specs on the DA S600s to tell me your thoughts? Let me know.

Thanks,
Jeff in Houston

Jeff:
Nothing feels worse than plunking money down at a dealer you don't trust. SURELY there's another place in Houston/environs that sells Alpine? I don't care how good the product might be: If you can't trust the dealer, how good are you going to feel having them rummaging around in your cab wiring up your baby? gakkkk!!! <hold fingers up as a cross>
That same CK forum I sent you to can probably also give you a lead on a trusted installer/retailer in your area. It's worth a try.
