Now in regard to both of those speakers. I can tell you this. The Kappa's sound better with the Cerwin Vega B52 amp. So if you go that route, I'd recommend the CV amp.
Don't know how reliable the Hertz ECX speakers are but they sounded damn good with the NVX amp. The CV/Kappa combo is a tried and true forum set up but if the Hertz speakers prove to be reliable. That set up sounds just as good.

Thanks for the links. Those are the exact ones I tried linking to.
Not sure if I want to bridge the amp as I might add lowers to the bike to extend my riding season. Living in Northern Illinois doesn't exactly have any perks at all. Not sure why I stay honestly.
Anyway would that NVX still drive those Hertz good enough without being bridged?

The 2 ohm Kappa's would receive 100 watts each but I can tell you from experience those kappa's need way more power than 100 watts to sound good. If you're gonna run lowers I'd take a look at the Soundstream PN4.1000D on that bike. Plenty power for anything you want to do. The NVX is a great performer bridged or if you wanted to run tweets or Horns but your 6.5 speakers are going to need more power.
