The HCX’s are excellent all around performers. Especialy at that price point.

FYI... I recently saw a nice set of grills from Garage Baggers for HCX’s mounted in lowers if that’s the direction you’re going.
Also I actually run my Ultra’s 10 Hertz speakers off of two Fosgate T400x4ad’s. In actuality they are closer to 125 watts per channel. 25% more than advertised.
