Speaker options between Hertz or focal
I found some good deals thanks to tailwind
All are around 300-350.
Hertz hsk 165
Hertz hsk 165xl
Focal 165 krc k2
Focal 165 Kr components
Best volume and midrange all while handling 150-200 rms per side. Really leaning toward the XL Hertz but can't rule out the tried and trued focal.

the XL's are much better than the regular 165's. I think the XL's will have much better low end than the Focal's. The Focal mid bass is just that very tight and punchy, the Hertz warmer. While the Hertz can handle more power the brightness and clarity of the Focal's could possibly seem louder. I think it depends what type of sound you are going for. I think with just two speakers the XL's may give you a fuller sound.

I have the Hertz Mille Pro MPX 165.3's installed in the fairing now and they sound really good. I've also heard the Focal 165KRC's and they sounded really good as well. I wouldn't mind trying a pair if I can find some for a good price

Can't ditch gauges. Have air ride gauge and not losing that for tweets. Plan to just get some hawg wired grills and use a hole punch and work to mount the tweet in center of grill. So you in same thought I am that the Focals can't take the power over the Hertz?
