More about the product
The Hertz CK 165 Cento is a two-way component speaker system designed for clear and dynamic sound in car audio upgrades. It features a 165 mm woofer paired with a 26 mm Tetolon dome tweeter, delivering smooth highs and detailed midrange performance. The tweeter uses a 20 mm voice coil for precise control and wide dispersion, ensuring crisp treble across the listening area.
The woofer cone is made from semi-pressed paper reinforced with mica, offering rigidity for accurate sound reproduction while maintaining a natural tonal character. A ferrite magnet powers the woofer for consistent performance, and the high-density foam surround helps reduce distortion for clean audio even at higher volumes.
The CK 165 includes passive crossovers tuned for optimal frequency separation, creating a seamless transition between the woofer and tweeter. With a power handling of 95 W RMS and a peak of 285 W, this system works well with factory head units or aftermarket amplifiers for improved output.
Installation is straightforward thanks to the standard 165 mm woofer size and flexible tweeter mounting options, including flush or surface fitment. This makes the CK 165 suitable for vehicles with standard speaker openings while offering a noticeable upgrade in clarity and detail compared to factory speakers.
While the CK 165 delivers excellent midrange and treble performance, its woofer size provides moderate bass output. For those seeking deeper low-end response, pairing this system with a dedicated subwoofer is recommended. Overall, the Hertz CK 165 Cento offers refined sound quality, durable construction, and easy installation, making it a smart choice for anyone looking to improve their in-car audio experience without sacrificing space.

Look out for Bankstown Sound Recommendations
The Hertz CK 165 Cento suits those wanting a clean, detailed upgrade from factory speakers without complex installation. It offers excellent clarity and midrange performance, making it ideal for everyday listening across various music genres. While it handles higher power well, its bass output is limited compared to larger systems, so pairing with a subwoofer is recommended for full low-end impact. Compared to entry-level coaxial speakers, it provides superior imaging and tonal accuracy, while remaining more affordable and space-friendly than high-end component systems.
