Hertz 4 inch speaker review

[SROC3]

once those BOTH break-in......about 2 weeks or so of listening.....then you will re-adjust again. And at that point you should be floored by the quality difference

I see that crutchfield has them back in stock. Might as well buy 2 for the dash.

Hertz vs. OEM

Needed some connectors to install next week.

@CarGuy - where did you put those Hertz 6.5’s ? In the kick panels or are for those out back in the pods ? Also do you have the factory B&O amp ?

Those are the 4” speakers. Putting them in the dash and rear pods.

My 4x 100.3’s arrived and I’m pairing them with hertz c165L’s for the which are supposedly a much lower range woofer.

I also picked up both 300hz and 600hz bass blockers for the 100.3’s.

I haven’t decided if I want to put one of the 4” in the center dash or put both in the rear pods. I usually don’t care about the rear sound stage.

Im saving the sub for last. I may want to replace the amp at the same time and haven’t decided on keeping the stock sub or going with a tailgate enclosure. Space is a premium in a 2dr.

I’m holding off on the bass blockers to see how they sound first.

Good that you got BOTH sets of bass blockers....different tastes and volume preferences You can always return them

I wouldn’t add any bass blockers - the B&O amp is already crossed over at the right frequencies.

Check out the new Gearshade subwoofer for the B&O system - https://www.gearshade.com/product/bronco-subwoofer-square/
Incredible sound from the L7T8 square sub. It’s a 2 ohm sub and if you use the Kicker Key 500 with a bass knob, it’s phenomenal. Grab a harness and amp combo from Joe at PlugnPlay - he makes the harness ready to connect right to the amp.

Hmmm.....I wonder if the JL AUdio 500.1 Amp + LC2i would fit on that box.......

Oh right.....if he does have the B&O system, then they are all properly crossed-over.

maybe, but these little speakers just won’t play those frequencies regardless.

So this speaker isn't ideal for the center speaker? Are you all leaving the center speaker stock?

I tried the Hertz in the center along with the corners and found that the center dominates and threw everything off. I switched back to the PRV midrange woofer mentioned earlier with a 300hz bass blocker. Not sure if the blocker did anything of note. However, others have used the Hertz for all three and been pleased.

That would be my expectation as I don't see why more capable aftermarket speakers would need bass blockers when the crappy factory speakers don't.
