Plus you'll have an advantage of getting good resale value as they really won't depreciate as long as you keep them in good condition.Quote:

And these are only 80rms. The phd's are 150, that means louder right.
Forget about power ratings when you're looking at SQ comps; they won't tell you much of anything regarding how they sound. For example, look on CDT's website for how they rate their power on the HD series comps. Notice the @120Hz addition to that rating? Imagine what they can actually do at a more realistic 100 or even 80Hz.Quote:

Lol you are distracted because you missed the Q i asked you.Quote:

Here's the huge draw with Hertz, though...if those doors aren't deadened properly, they're going to sound anemic as fuck. The other choices I provided are a little more forgiving of less-than-perfect installation.Quote:

Cant find a current review on them though, i can only find ones from a year+ ago. I imagine they have changed the speaker since.Quote:
