Good catch!!!

Does the JL 400/4 push more or less power?

Don't ditch all ur stuff OP. Pair that amp with the correct speakers and it's all good.

I don’t understand your question about the 400/4....by that logic of just looking at power a Soundstream 1000w amp is just as good as your beloved HDP4. Thing is there’s more important specs to an amp than the wattage output listed on the box.

No sir I have not and I am not doubting you in any way. I wanted to put 8's in my lids but still cant get paint for my ride. I know I could probably get paint close but close aint getting it on my bike. Im still playing with coax/components as im yet ready to go dark side with pro audio.

If I had a dollar for every time some dude selling product told me that I would be on a beach on a private island.

Hertz is not a Soundstream. Nor is a Kia a Porsche. Hertz is a damn reputable audio company in every regard.

I have not tried the polk mm692's yet but I just may try a set. Don't get me wrong the vo's are damn good but the milles are better.
When you do finally try the Polk’s, you’ll be sold. I promise! All pass, makes them sound even better.

I had six HCX 690's on my bike at one point. Then started adding 8 inch PA speakers and it never sounded all that great. At the time (to me) it did.....I thought it was awesome!!! but knowing what I know now I wouldn't mix and match PA speakers with conventional coaxial type 6X9's. Also, if you like the way your bike sounds now, I don't think you'd like PA 8's in your lids. You'll gain tons of volume but lose bass.
