What should I power my ID CTX65cs's with?

How much power should I send to them? Right now I think I'm sending 2x75 and it isn't cutting it. I think they're screaming for more power.

I'm powering my subs with a kicker SX600.2.... Is that too much power to power my comps with? I was thinking bout doing that and upgrading my sub amp.

# Power (WATTS/CHANNEL), 2 Ohm Stereo 300 x 2

# Power (WATTS/CHANNEL), 4 Ohm Bridged Mono 600

Also, my speakers are 4ohm, so would it work?

according to the info i found on that amp it does 138x2 @4ohms. that should be fine for powering your comp set. just watch the gain control and the volume knob.

Well I have the same components with a nine.2x, I have the gain set to where there getting 125 watts a piece and you can tell they can take more. I'd be careful with 200 watts though.

I know of a guy personally that is sending 250RMS x 2 to his CTX65cs's and has had ZERO problems. We did use a scope to set his gains with though so it's 100% unclipped power. I'm usin an Orion XTR375, 100w RMS x 2, and they ask for more.
