  I prefer the HDPs to the JL HDs, the JL d class amps tend to break up at high frequencys, making them a poor option for running active and SQ. I did a GTR with a pair of HDP5s, 2x 8w7s, and Voce 3 ways ran active with a BitOne and factory integration. It sounded dope. The HDPs I've also noticed are underrated on power I tested the sub channels and they were making almost 700w @2, the HD can't touch that

  i heard a hdp 4 on a set of hertz hsk 165 Xl, very dynamic sounding amps. a little harsh but very clean
