Amp for HLCD'S
I'm getting some kicker hlcd's and wondering if a zx 550.2 would be a good amp to power them. Right now I have a zx 200.2 and a zx700.5 to power my 6 boat speakers, my sub , and my 4 tower speakers.

Power wise, the zx550.2 is a good choice for both the basic 4-pod setup (205w x 2) and the "6-Pack" setup with the extra mids (275w x 2). Just be aware that the zx550 is not a current production amp, so be cautious about where you buy from if its sold as "new".
Another good choice would be the IX500.4 for the 4-pod setup and a pair of IX500.4 if you are going with the 6-pod setup. Also, for the 6-pod setup, a pair of zx300.1's and the KX2 External Crossover will deliver 300W RMS to each side.

I just installed my Kicker Hlcd's this weekend you will be happy !!!
Because I already had the amp I used a kicker 350.4 it puts out 175 per channel in bridged mode I am only running the 2 mids if I upgrade to 4 I will need a new amp
For your set up if you are planning on going with the 2 tweets and 4 mids the 650.4 bridged would be a good choice 320 watts per channel leaving some head room even for the 6 speaker setup2007 Outback V

The hlcd's are basically 1 pair of speakers
The regular silver speaker is the mid and the all black it the tweeter
Kinda like how your set up is, but the tweeter takes its own speaker can
Then you can add another pair of mid's wired parallel having 6 cans total and have the functionality of 2 pair of hlcd's just remember if you do that you need to move the crossover wire to +6 position (will make more sense when you get your speakers and manual)2007 Outback V

The zx350.4 is delivering 175W to each side when in bridge mode, not 175W per chnl (two chnls wired together = bridge mode). If you wanted to add the extra mids, just add a new zx350.4 for the mids and run it in 2 chnl mode also.
For your set up if you are planning on going with the 2 tweets and 4 mids the 650.4 bridged would be a good choice 320 watts per channel leaving some head room even for the 6 speaker setup
