No is there a big difference in brands of amps? Other then different power ratings. Would that eclipse amp be better then JL amp you posted up earlier?

Again thanks for the help

I love my Diamonds. And I love the Eclipse amp. The Eclipse XA2000 amp is a full range class D, which means it's more efficient than a class A/B amp (like the JL). There is a difference in the build quality and componentry used in amps. The D661s and the Eclipse XA2000 combo is a very viable option for you.

Do the pods make it uncomfortable to rest your foot on the dead pedal?
I wonder if there is anyone in the tampa, FL area that has a pair so I could sit in it and see..

The Zenclosure pods sit close enough to the doors as not to be intrusive. Not sure about the Nazar pods.

i am in Delray beach feel free to come audtion my car and see

the pods have no bearing on the dead pedal , though you lose some foot space upon entry and exit of car

the kicks require you to 86 the dead pedal

see my pics and you will see kicks and no dead pedal

pics are above in this thread
