[QUOTE="LsGuy, post: 8781239, member: 681035"] Underpowering the speakers is perfectly safe, but may not give desired level of output. Also note that if you are buying a cheap off brand amp it may not actually produce the power it is claiming. Running the hertz woofers without any form of crossovers is a bad idea. You are sending high frequencies that the speaker isn't designed to reproduce, once amplification is added you may end up having a bad time. Also note that there's nothing wrong with those hertz speakers, it just sounds like you don't prefer their sound profile. This can be corrected with an active crossover, as you can make the speaker sound however you want. May be an option worth considering. If you prefer running passive, at least use the crossovers, those aren't only meant for the tweeter. It isn't like a coax where the crossover is built into the speaker itself with capacitors, you have to use the seperate crossover to make sure appropriate frequencies are sent to the speakers.
