Default Hertz

I have a 2013 ultra with true duals/cfr exhaust. Will be my first time (green. Horn) up grading stereo components. I don't want to drill any holes, thats why I'm sticking with coaxial & not going with prv.
What is the sound difference
between hertz mille pro 165.3 and hertz hcx 165 ? I live to far out in the country to hear them myself
Thinking about mille pro in the fairing and rear pods going with hertz ev f165.5 going with a diamond 4v2 amp. Which would be a better choice for the lower speaker coaxial/woofer. Radio deck I'm chosen is sony mex m70bt
my budget is 2k - are DB drive wdx6moto 6.5 speakers any good.
Thanks for any help

Ive had the hcx 165 and on my new bike I chose the mpx 165 just because they are the latest addition to the hertz lineup. As far as difference, the hcx have a bit more crisp high's and the mpx produce a softer high range which I like better. As far as the rest of the system, the experts will help you build it. I am running a rf 400xad amp and its ok but underpowered for my speakers. If and when, I will get with the focal fdp sport for my next amp. Rave reviews here and I trust these guys.

Bang for the buck coax is dB Motos in fairing.

Components don't require drilling holes in the fairing, just small holes in the grills for tweeters. This too opens up a lot of options.

If ur committed to Hertz in the TP u should consider the SV165. Much better speaker for that location. Just need the spacer/adapter.

Plenty of other options with the spacer.

I currently run hertz speaks (ML 1650.3 with tweets) in fairing bridged to a micro 4V2 and love the sound. That being said, if I was running 4 channels I probably wouldn't even consider that amp. It's awesome bridged, but IMO just not enough intestinal fortitude in 4 channel mode to give the hertz the power they need.

I'm not 100% committed to Hertz. Just doing my research. Probably be 10 weeks before i get a new system. Just doing my research, so far i like the Hertz speakers. Component system wouldn't be bad as long as i don't have to remove any gauges or drill holes in the fairing.

T has me rethinking about a different setup.
Thinking maybe PRV in the farings MMATS for the pods and maybe the lowers.
HU Sony mex m70bt with a BT4180 amp.
