Are you sure it wouldnt sound better with a Hertz amp to match the speakers since everything should match apparently? Asking for a friend

I will go out there with you on that limb just close to the trunk (I am fat and afraid of heights). If you have a solid fairing setup, a set of pa's in the lowers will give you that balance of good sound and IMO you don't need tweeters in the lowers as you will have enough in the fairing.

I dont have any speakers that are the same and I'm pretty happy with my sound

all my speakers are from the same brand, so i guess they match, but that was just luck of the draw after actually installing several different brands and models. i'd go out on that limb also as there can be a lot gained by specifically targeting what sound you get from what location and what you put there. oops, i forgot, they are not all the same brand, couldn't fit them in the tp pods. oh well i guess i'm in the mix and match pile also.

The thing is, I don't really know jack about tuning them. I just watched the sticky video again and do have a Fluke meter. I can set the gain easily enough, but what do you recommend for that setting? 44.7 for 2 ohm and 63.2 for 4 ohm per the chart or is that tuned at 500 watts for each channel since it's a 1000 watt amp? I also am having a hard time setting the crossover on the amp and it's pretty hard to read without more numbers. I have a Kenwood head unit also if that helps. I played with the setting on the head unit for don't quite understand all that either. I'm willing to put the Sound Qubed back in the lowers and try to tune them again.
