Default Hertz mp165 for lowers?

Someone locally is selling a set for $140 Canadian.....so just over $100 us.
just woofers, no tweeters. Considering them for the lowers. Thoughts?

Which mp's? If its the mpk 165's, they will have good SQ but don't get real loud coming from the lowers. If you like hertz the sl 165's would be better in the lowers as they get real loud without a bunch of power.

sorry meant to incl. pic. It sounds like they came with tweeters but the tweets crapped out so just selling woofers.

First i don't like the crease in the woofer on the top speaker. That just doesn't look healthy. Those look identical to the mlk's and they are close, they wont be loud enough to be heard at speed even with a bunch of power in the lowers. I personally have not these speakers but have run the mlk 1650's which look identical construction to these. i sold them as they just didn't blend well with the sl 165's.

Thanks tg, your input tells me what I need to know.
I saw that crease/mark , but so obvious I assumed it was not what it looked like.
regardless won’t pursue them. Price seemed good tho.
thanks again

Go to the for sale section here (at the top of the page) and post WTB a set of hertz sl's or prv's as both of those will fit your lower needs well. Just keep in mind that the prv's will need some modification to fit the lowers but worth it as they are solid speaker also.
