Default AMP Recommendations
Okay so I am running an aftermarket head unit. I currently have a Biketronics BT2180 to run my front speakers Hertz MPK165.3 and in my bags have 2 Hertz SPL 8” and 2 Hertz ST25 horns. I am looking for recommendations or what people are currently running to push these 8” and ST25’s in the bags

thanks in advance

if SV200.1 are in your bags, you may not be getting a lot of bottom end fill there. If in the lids, for volume, then cool, roll with it. The challenge that you have is that it's difficult to find an amp that will comfortably run both the 8's and the tweeters. My preference would be to run two separate amps such as an 800.4 bridged to the 8's and a 250.2 or a 400.4 to the ST25's.

That is what I would do, yes. Where are you located in IL?

For the 8's, I'd look for a stinger 700 or a Soundigital 800.4. The SD amp will give more power, which the Hertz 8's like


For the tweeters, an SD250.2 or a 400.4 would be my choice. The 400.4 is a nicer amp in my opinion.
