[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8010287, member: 576029"] Hertz is an excellent company with great products. The ESK-165L is quite efficient. you don't need rear tweeters - woofers only is preferred for rear fill. You do want to match tonality of front and rear. so buying the same type of speaker is preferred - otherwise just keep what you have for rear fill. power ratings are relative to time and frequency range. rating a speaker at 200W for one second is much different than 100W for an hour. note the CDT power rating is only with a 125Hz high pass crossover while the Hertz rating is at full frequency response. I recommend you hit up [USER=642660]@Vertex Audio[/USER] and inquire on some Ultra Subs SS-6 components. Much better than anything you have listed and will handle high power while sounding great. let your current rear speakers stay as-is (maybe disconnect tweeters). rears should be turned down anyway so the fronts are dominant. what are you using for a high pass crossover? how are the speakers mounted and sealed?
