HERTZHCX 165 6.5" 2-Way Hi-Energy Coaxial Speakers HCX165

I wouldn't buy used ones because I tried it and they looked like new. But 3 of the 4 had tweeters that were just barely hanging in. I assume that this is because they get installed on Harley's much more so than in cars and this rattles them to death. They get returned, upon inspection they look and sound fine and blah blah blah. Grab the tweeter and it might fall out though. On the second try, I bought new ones and at first I thought they were "okay." Possibly even slightly overpriced. I run them on big power with an ALPINE X-A70F and within two days of playing them, they opened right up. Like breaking in subs or something. I didn't know highs did that. But they sound amazing. I've got them in all four doors and I've got the $330 6x9's in the back deck. It is so loud. So clear. And I don't need a bunch of loud speakers with super tweeters to get the job done. I'm extremely satisfied with this brand and they might be the best highs I've ever owed.

After searching the various Harley forums and reading many reviews I decided to use the Hertz HCX 165 6.5" coaxial speakers. So glad I did the research, I could not be more happy with my choice. These speakers fit both the Batwing Fairing with 5.25" X 6.5" speaker adapters and the Harley vented lower fairings with Harley 2011 stock speaker grills for the lowers. I was concerned that the twitters would touch the grill but there is plenty of clearence. These speakers absolutely Rock, the bass is incredible and the range is more then I need. I powered the four speakers with a Rockford Fosgate PBR300X4 amplifier that fits perfectly in the Harley fairing. I can't tell you how pleased my new system performs. Thank you Amazon and Hertz for providing the best prices and listening experience that went beyond my expectations

So far so good everything looks to be legit and be a genuine Hertz product. I put them in my car today and noticed the wattage decrease going from infinity kappas at 2 ohm so im probably going to look at a bigger 4 channel. its only 75w x4 @4 ohm. ill update if anything changes. Still sounds good but underpowered!

The speakers are as good as as advertised. I replaced a pair of Focal’s in the rear doors, and these Hertz were cleaner and able to take more power than the Focal’s. Haven’t tested them with full power yet, still waiting for a break in period before I unleash what’s driving them. And serious kudos to the shipper on this product, professional, punctual and all around great customer service. I recommend them highly.

Replaced 4 speakers in my Motor Coach. 2 up front and 2 in back bedroom. Larger than the stock so I had to modify the opening. Well worth it. They sound much better. Was a great upgrade. Overall great quality speaker. Sounds good for powering with a head unit. Will be adding an amp soon to get the full capability of the speaker.

I installed these in my back doors and a set of Hertz energy component speaker in the front doors. I’ve been in the home audio video industry for 20 years and I know good sound when I hear it. These are very nice speakers. Highs are very clean and bright and not tinny. Lows are strong and powerful. My crossover is set at 75 hz and these speakers handle it perfectly

I finally got around to installing these speakers when I removed them from the box there was mounting clip lodge in the tweeter shortly after one of the speakers blew..

Update: 7/11/2016. Speakers were working fantastic while on my bike while be powered by a Rockford Fosgate PBR 300x4 amp. Well starting last week I started hearing what I thought was static coming from my left speaker. Well, come to find out the speaker is blown and snap, crackle and popping. Sad to say I was very happy with my investment, but now am bummed that in less then a year, I have to go out and buy new speakers. I have heard nothing but great reviews on bike forums about these speakers and can say they do sound great in comparison to Polk's, Kickers and Rockford Fosgates! I have not heard much in regards to other people having these speakers blow with using the same and/or similar amps. As for me, I spent $350 and now these are at $250... even at that price point I am going to try out something else. Only giving 3 stars because although they were great... $350 is a lot for less one year of use, and its not like they were run everyday.I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I tried out two other quality speakers for My Victory Cross Country and couldn't find a 6.5 that produced the sound I was looking for in my front fairing. After reading through forum's, reviews on Amazon and even starting my own thread on Victory Owners Group. I went ahead and decided to give these a shot, even though they are a bit more pricey then I wanted to pay for a coaxial speaker. Well, I'm glad I did and can honestly say it was worth the $$$. I can now hear parts of songs that were literally being blown away by the wind, even at 70-80mph speeds. If you ride a Cross Country and are considering these as a replacement, then do it! Learn from me and others who commented on my thread. You can try and save money by going with Polks or RF's, but you just won't get the sound you can get out of these with the RF PBR 300x4 driving them. Listen to the other Harley Reviews and this Victory review. These are awesome for our open air setups! The only thing I noticed is the metal plate around the screw holes is a little bigger than my other 6.5's and it made for a tight fit on my bike due to my hawg wired adapter plate. I waiting for the new adapter from Vtwin Audio, which should give more clearance and even more bass response.These are worth the investment! I am looking to add the 6x9's next because I was so satisfied with this purchase. Also Woofer's Etc did an awesome packaging and shipping the speakers out to me very quickly, almost as fast as Prime.
