PDX amp powering 4 hertz hsk 165? Will it work good

[Robahr24 10+ year member]

I'm so close to having the money to order my hsk 165's. Was gonna use a cheaper amp like the ss trx4.880 to power them (2 sets). But the alpine amp is so much sexier. Its only a 600watt amp, I wanted to put almost 200 to each speaker. Will 150 be good enough for them to sound really good?

150 should b enough midbass wont be as strong if you put more power to them. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif y dont' you go for stereo route? Just 2 fronts and 1 rear sub . If you drive that car alone daily so it's not a big problem to loose some rear speakers. Other than that i'd prefer you get a MLk165 and let those PDX pushing it at 300W x2 which i realy want o hear. I might replace my amp to pdx series hehehe

I was thinking that, but I need something to refill the stock speakers with, what about hertz 6.5 coaxials? I have a small mtx amp that pushes out like 200 watts rms, that would make them sound nice. So your saying that 150 might be a little too much for the hsk? I figured the more watts the better it will sound.

I can get hsk's for about 270 a pair and I figured that is high was I'm going to go since I already was gonna set my limit at 250. But I can't figure out what subs I want because whatever I by I'm going to put in a 05 GTO when I get it next spring, and there isn't much room in there at all. Want to put in 2 10'' FI Q's or something but didn't know how much volume I would have to make the custom box since they would go in the corner.
