So I searched the forums but could not find the answer to my question. I have a set of Diamond Audio components that I just bought and I am trying to save money being a college student. I am going to have them installed by somebody who knows what they're doing, then about a month down the road I am putting the amp I already own put in professionally by Magnolia Hi-Fi so they can tune the whole system because they are the Diamond authorized dealer, and I want to have it done by them before they duck out of the car audio business completely in May and I can't have it done right anymore. Getting to the point my question is, will it be alrigth to run my Diamond components off of my deck for a month until I can get my amp installed. (have to wait a month for lack of money, and that the nearest Magnolia Hi-Fi is 70 miles away and I have school and work so can't get time to go down). thanks for your help.

Haha! That sounds exactly like my situation. Im not too familiar with Diamond audio components but in my case i have infinity type-s front speakers (disconnected the back) and was going to get the amp i already have installed and tuned right.. that was like 2 and a half months ago. 
the eq on my deck has been enough for me so far. The thing is that you're not going to get the "clean" and direct power that you would from the amp. But its definitely an upgrade from stock sound. Hope that helps.

Hope that helps.You can install them now just don't expect much until you get your amp installed. Don't crank up your radio so that you casue distortion.

the installers would probably prefer it if you did it at once, in addition to the fact that components were never meant to be powered by a deck.
so, i say wait. it won't hurt you.

Well I am having the speakers installed by Best Buy and the Amp installed and tuned by magnolia like 2 or 3 weeks later, I just didn't want to damage the speakers by installing them early I may just have it done the week before cuz with school I don't drive much anyway. It is gonna cost me 120 for magnolia to install the speakers vs. 70 to have best buy do it so I dunno, however if Magnolia does it the warranty increase from 1 to 3 years so it could be worth the extra 50 bucks what y'all think?Akiahara96 said:the installers would probably prefer it if you did it at once, in addition to the fact that components were never meant to be powered by a deck.
