    I'm gonna buy 2 sets of Hertz HSK165 comps with this spec:
    125W RMS @ 4Ohm (250W peak)
    My question is how much power I should drive them with in a SQ system?
    I've read somewhere that they wont make clear, nice sound in low power!
    is Power=loadness just? or it enhances quality!?
    should I use a 4*100 @4ohm amp!? more? or less?

    for me i look at the amps THD rating. i have some really old phoenix gold amps that are rated for 40 watts per channel.

    they may not have a ton of power but they have a .02% THD rating which makes them very SQ.

    so while you can power them @ 100 watts each just make sure the amp has clean low distorted power coming out.
