Amp for HSK 165's

[helotr3vor 10+ year member]

I was wondering if the sundown 100.2 would be enough for the hsk's. I am getting a saz1500 so i wanted to match but im afraid it wouldn't be enough power. I wanted to feed about 200w to them. What do you guys think should i do the 100.2 or go for a diff amp?

They'll take it. Just be careful.

i ran a set of 165's off a 100.2 and it sounded great, im might pick up another pair and run them off my 100.2, but ill eventually go active with a 100.4

does anyone know what there really rated? the 100.2

I think Jake told me that the 100.2 is pretty spot on, you may be able to get 125x2 out of it before clipping though.

I can't recall exactly what he said though.

i cant tell you that they are underrated but i havent seen anyone bench a 2 channel before, or at least a 100.2

i feel like i can give it so much more power though. should i get the AQ 90.4 and bridge it to 240x2 or should i go for a diff amp that puts out about 200.2

The Arc KS 300.2 does 180x2 at 4 ohm, but it is definitely underrated.

I think if you picked up an Arc 300.2, you'd be golden. I'm planning on picking up another set of hertz (165's), or maybe a pair of type X's. ( and using them on my arc)

i would personally go with the 100.4, bridge it into a 4 ohm load, and set your gains correctly. it gives you more head room, your amp will run cooler, and more efficient do to it not being maxed out. and you would have it match your 1500d

yeah **** it i think ill just go for the 100.4 and bridge it. do you think i can still buy the last version so i dont have to wait till December?
