Picked up some Helix HXS136MKII for the rear....what for the front?!?

[Freelander 10+ year member]

I bought some Helix HXS136 6.5" Comps for the rear of my Freelander. Now I'm looking for a set of components for the front. I really don't want to spend more than $250.

Right now I'm really liking the Hertz HKS165's but am wanting input from people who have them on how they sound. My Clarion 3200A 4-Channel amp is rated at 75x4 @ 2ohms 12v. I'm figuring at 14.4v it should be doing quite a bit more (125+wrms?). I am going to run passive at first then hopefully get a HU that I can run active with soon.

Also does anyone have experience with the Helix Components. I've heard that they are the "entry" level speaker from Brax and are supposed to be pretty nice but have not really found any reviews on them. I got a hell of a deal on them so I figured I'd try them out.

How about you match up and get their S6 comps or RS6?

great idea.

Helix would probably become a boner or a chubby if it wasn't for their price tag, or their lack of marketing.

I have a set of their S801 tweets from their S6 comps and they sound great.

I was looking at the Helix S6 Comps....I think the cheapest I found them was like $509. Not sure if I want to spend that much.

Check out Hertz HSK165's or Image Dynamics CTX65CS

Lol thats funny....I already checked out both. I've been leaning on the Hertz but the ID's look sexy too. Woofersect.com has the ID's for $179

Yes, I have and they sound very nice. Friend has those and the CTX 6x9's and is a very nice setup. I just got done replying to another guy asking about those 6x9's and recommended it to him as well, but those componets would be a nice addition, however I would just move those Helix's to the front and be done and save some money unless you need real fill. If so, get some co-axils and call it a day. That is what I did, but running the Pioneer Premier 720c's componets and the Pioneer Premier TSA co-axils in the rear, which rival my friends ID setup and I spent a lot less.
