Hertz HSK-165 vs MLK-165

knowing you, it'll be longer than that. Do me a favor me and prove me wrong.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif..
My MLKs are running with 440wrmsx2 and they love every bit of the power. If you want something efficient and on a budget go for the HSKs. The mille series are power hungry and want big boys with big electrical systems.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

thats crazy. even crazier if you are actually using more than half of that. i couldn't imagine needing 440 per side. these must be really inefficient or something.

Well the bare minium I will put to them is 150wrmsx2 with my PG 5.0:4 bridged 2 channel.

The price is not so much an issue as I can more then likely get a good deal on the mille from the local dealer. Getting a more powerful amp is another thing though. Thinking of the Alpine PDX-4.100 or 4.150 and bridging them 2 channle for the fronts ( so either 200wrms x 2 or 300wrms x 2) and getting 2.100 for the rear fill.

i'm doing something similar for the HSK's in the next week or two (whenever this rain stops), getting 150watts from a jl 300/2 for the hertz right now, with rear doors disconnected. got a Sundown 100.4 and 100.2, bridging 100.4, 320+ watts to the hertz, 100.2 for the rear

man you guys are crazy putting power over the recommend peak, I'm surprise you guys have yet to blow out your speakers. Has anyone ever think about biamping the MLK's? It's almost like running active giving the tweet and midbass their own power

yea my question is, are they actually using that much power? i have way more power on tap for my comps then they are rated for but i'm not using anywhere near all of it. i wonder if the guys with 300+ per side are actually using anywhere near all of it.

I ran 150wrms into some 50wrms/100peak speakers for over 2 years. There still fine.

Good clean power never hurt a speaker. I've spent years doing pro sound concert system and we've always gone way over peak power ratings. no problems.

Good clean power to good speakers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Yeah, not of those weak flea market brand speakers. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I think i'm gonna pick up an pdx4.150 or zx850.4 and biamp them to see how they sound like.

Where are you guys getting your Hertz if there's no local dealers? Are there any authorized dealers on here?

sorry to go off topic, but for the guys running the hsk165, where do you guys have your tweeters mounted?

Still playing around with the tweeter placement, but for right now....

I am running the HSK 165 Midbass in the doors with the Space 1 tweeter mounted in the front corners of the windshield.

 

[zeuolaxxx 10+ year member]

the Space 1 is better tweeter than the HT25?
