Default Which speakers Kappa 62.11 or AD Design CX62

So finally going to pull the HK head unit and installing a Sony MEX-M70BT.
I had Kappa 62.11 in the faring and the lowers. Replaced the blown faring Kappas with the AD Design CX62. The amp is a Acoustik RZ4-2000D.

My question is should I replace the Kappas in the lowers with something else?

yup! This is a killer combo.

Only my think to consider is how you are using the crossover. I believe that amp does not have an adjustable crossover so if you leave it at the static setting you may need to keep the gain down. Other option as a second set of AD's. Last option, keep what you got.

Yes. If you are going to put them in the fairing you would use a horn with them, but if you are putting them in lowers I believe you can go without a horn.

You need an amplifier with an adjustable HPF to run any pro audio speaker. I'm pretty sure the amp you listed just has a switch and a static position for HPF. I'd advise against running the MMats if that's how the amp works.

No adjustments on amp other than gain. I could push my budget and get a new amp. Want to stay below $500.00 or wait till I can add more $
