Default Budget upgrade
My brother isn't satisfied with his hertz milli 6.s....go figure.
Current setup: on his 12 SG with side dump exhaust(loud af)
Arc moto 600.4 powering 2 hertz milli 6.5 in fairing and 6x9 in lids
HERTZ tweeters run off aftermarket HU.
He wants more volume. Will moto G2's be a viable option for the fairing? I also have seen the mmats cx601.4.
And some horns possibly run of the HU. (waiting to see what model)

He has another arc 600.4 willing to sell to make up the cost.

Is there another option besides replacing amp too?

The mmats 601 cx get REALLY loud and still sound clear. I have no trouble hearing my set up at any speed with the volume at half. I'm running them off the stinger spx 700 amp.

I would start with more power for those speakers. Hertz like power.

I agree with the prv but he wants to keep the arc amp. How much power can these hertz hold, maybe swapping an amp will fix his issue? I would like to throw in prvs but he's on a budget.

The PRV's would be cheaper than a new amp and will sound better than the Hertz.
