The Hertz HCX165 is a good speaker BUT the down side is that they are a discontinued line now. So if you have any issues with the speakers you will be SOL for a replacement in the near future.
As for the AD speakers there are a lot of good reviews from the guys on the forum Here that have or are using them.

Looks like I might have to just shoot for some fairing speakers to get me through the summer with what I have then plan the AD speakers and a couple CV amps for the winter upgrade.
What ohm are the AD cx62 speakers?

So now that my budget took a beating, I currently have about $250 Canadian which is about $3 US these days, lol.
Realistically, I can probably muster up $200 US.
The Polk DB 651's gotta go. They are annoying me and driving me crazy.
I can either swap out one of the two amps I have and grab one of the Cerwin Vega B-52 or B-54 and just put my J and M Rokkers xxt back in or stick with my two Rockford amps for now and swap out the Polks for something else. Infinity Kappa, Hertz HCX, Polk MM 652.
Which would be a better option at this time?
If there is a better budget speaker option, I can probably sell off my J and M Rokkers to add another piece to the puzzle and get me a little closer to adding one of the CV amps, or possibly the AD speakers
Currently the Kappas are $217 cdn, Hertz Hcx are $210 cdn and apparently discontinued, B52 is $210 cdn, B 54 is $280 CDN, and AD CX62 probably close to $400 CDN shipped. If I sell the J and M's I would have around $500 CDN to work with.
Don't know if I can justify the AD speakers at the moment, but worst case I could pick up at least one set in the fall, and hopefully use the speakers I buy now either in the lowers or the rears.
If I just did the set of AD speakers, would my Rockfords be capable of doing them justice until I could pick up CV amp.
I am leaning towards the Kappas first, than upgrade one of the amps to a CV.
This fall I am hoping to add a set of AD CX62 to the system and move the Kappas to the lowers if $$$ allows.
probably upgrade the 5.25 Sonys in the rear pods at that time. I am also looking for the best budget option for the pods without using a spacer if possible so as to not cause my wife any grief when she is on the back. I have a 2005 Ultra with the volume control on the pod as well.
To make the build a little more of a challenge I have to try and find options here in Canada as the US$, shipping, and customs quite often causes me grief. Sometimes it works out cheaper to order it and ship it across the border, but most of the time the shipping causes the grief.
Any ideas and recommendations are welcome.
