Default Anyone using Hawg Wired?

I am going to go with a Hawg Wired set up. I was either going to go with the Direct Connect system (120 watts) or the Double Shot (150). Would the be a noticable difference between the 120 and 150 watts system? Opinions would be great.

Thanks
Eric

I'm running the 150 Watt setup. I talked to the folks at Hawg Wired and they told me the 120 would be fine and just opted for the 150. It flat out rocks....

I have the Hawg Wired DX504-70 speakers and PS1502 (150W) amplifier. It is a bitchin' system...period! You won't be sorry!

As far as the difference with the two amps...I don't think the difference would be that noticeable. The ease of the direct connect would be sweet, but doing the PS1502 was not very complicated. Either one would give you a HUGE improvement over the stock system! Make SURE to change out the stock speakers!

Good luck...

Steve

I had the 120 watt set up and the and blew one speaker. It had marginal sound output IMHO. I then tried the 150 watt kit and it's louder but not worth the money. If i were to do it again i would get the J&M 7.25 speakers and there amp, reading the reviews most everybody sounds happy and the kit's reasonably price.

I did the 150 + speakers no complaint with their parts. Now the stock radio, that can be an issue at times.
