Decent set of components for $200?

[geonfreaq 10+ year member]

Well I finally got around to installing my subwoofer and it sounds great even with the stock speakers. However, right now I dont have my amp turned up much at all because the bass will over power my highs so I would like to find a good set of components to replace the stockers upfront.

To be honest, right now with the way the gains are set on my amp it sounds like I have a 10" running on 300w not a SX on 1500w so I would like more boom with higher highs.

What would you guys suggest?

I've never heard of the hertz brand.

Pretty good I assume?

Thanks for the links though.

I 2nd this motion. Yes, Hertz makes a solid set of comps. I luv the mids and like the tweeters.

The ID's are raved about for a great budget buy. But no personal experience with them.

Of the two, just due to my experiences, I'd get the Hertz.

Sweet thanks guys. I'll do some research in the am and see what I can find out about both //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

For anyone that has used the hetrz comps, how is the mid bass?

 

[geonfreaq 10+ year member]

I do have a question. Having never used components before I need some clarification.

If I go with the Hertz comps,(4 ohm) would the amp be seeing a 2 or 4 ohm load?

Is the mid bass driver 4 ohm and the tweet 4 ohm or does running them both give me a 2 or 4 ohm load? Sorry for the newb question just want to make sure I do this right //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

I got these midbass driver SST-654N and they sound great. I know your looking for the comp set but I got these brand new for $150 for the pair. Tweeters shouldn't be that expensive.

In my price range I have also found Focal 165 A1 and was wondering about the low end Focals and how they would compare to the Hertz.

Im trying to find a thread on here comparing the two but Im not seeing much about the 165's on here,
