I was running the hertz Hcx 690's in the fairing, swapped the out for a pair of audio frogs, going to move the Hetz in the speaker lids, I need to change the surround in one of them that has a small tear. The Hertz are power hungry, I'm moving them to the back as they are rated 135 RMS, my thoughts are I can send more power to them, since there located in the back to get additional volume.

As a straight up comparison between Kappas and Hertz, without a doubt Hertz blows the Kappas away, thus the big difference in price.

I absolutely think so as ur stepping up into a different tier of speaker. Much better SQ with the Hertz and I think they are much warmer than the 6.5s /62.11s as well.

Don't let me wrong here, the Kappas are really damn good speaks for the cash.

Hertz is better speaker but also take into account what amp you are using. The upgrade may not be worth it.

I've had the Kappa 693's, Arc Moto 692's and now BT 6x9's in my lids. The Biketronics are keepers for ME, YMMV.
