Default Hertz amp and speakers

Right now my head is going in circles right now with my audio system, I do have a SD amp but need to replace all or upgrade my fairing and lid speakers, but also ran across volunteer audio which they have a complete Hertz audio system "plug n play” just want to know if anyone has the Hertz and happy with it. Thank for any input 😎👍

What SD Amp?

And if you already have an amp and aftermarket audio, you don't need "plug n play".

The Sx690's are a great speaker.
I'm not a big fan of the SX165 for fairing.
If the package is with the SP4.900 ( I haven't heard personally), I would bet it's a good amp. Reviews on it are pretty stout.

I have Volunteer Audios plug and play Hertz 600 watt amp and Herts 165 Neo speakers in faring. they are super loud and clear.not much base responds though,I really don't think they are too many 6.5s that do produce much base. Getting ready to add Herts 6X9s to speaker lids.You need to make sure you do the flash they recommend also.

Depending on which model SD amp you have and which model hertz amp you have it is hard to make suggestions on limited information.

I have the SD EVOX 800.4 and I was looking at the Hertz SP4.900 with their speaker setup from Volunteer audio

If you are looking to use what you have on hand and save a few bucks to put towards the speakers I would suggest the Cicada CH65.2 for the fairing and either the CX 69.2 or the CH69.2.

Question, now that you bring up Cicada. I saw they have a complete kit also is that comparable to Hertz system or what’s your take on it. Sorry man just want to make sure on input before I buy

I had the Hertz SX 165's in the fairing and they are extremely loud...I ended up putting them in my TP because that's how loud they play...belong back there or down below...not in your face.

The 2 systems you mentioned are comparing apples and oranges.

The Cicada system uses a horn loaded coax speaker and the Hertz system uses a conventional coax speaker with a tweeter.

The Cicada system will definitely have more volume as the speakers are more efficient.
