More about the product
The Hertz CX165 Cento 6.5-Inch Coaxial Speakers are engineered to deliver clear and balanced sound for everyday driving. Built with precision and durability in mind, these speakers combine advanced materials with practical design to achieve a natural and dynamic audio experience.
At the heart of the CX165 is a semi-pressed paper cone reinforced with mica. This combination provides excellent rigidity while keeping the cone lightweight, resulting in smooth midrange tones and reduced distortion. The cone is paired with a thermoplastic polyurethane surround, which ensures consistent movement and reliable performance even at higher volumes.
For high frequencies, the CX165 uses a Tetolon dome tweeter. This material is known for its lightness and stability, allowing the tweeter to reproduce crisp, detailed highs without sounding harsh. The coaxial design integrates the tweeter seamlessly with the woofer, ensuring accurate sound dispersion and easy installation in most factory locations.
The speaker frame is built from high-strength materials to minimise vibration and maintain stability. Venting under the spider improves heat dissipation, which helps maintain reliability during extended listening sessions. With a slim profile, the CX165 fits easily into standard mounting positions without requiring major modifications.
Power handling is rated at 70 watts RMS and 210 watts peak, giving the speakers enough headroom for clean sound at higher volumes. Sensitivity is 93 dB, meaning they perform well with factory head units but deliver their best when paired with an external amplifier. The frequency response is tuned for balance, offering tight midbass, clear mids, and smooth highs. While the CX165 is not designed for heavy bass enthusiasts, it pairs perfectly with a subwoofer for those seeking deeper low-end performance.
Overall, the Hertz CX165 Cento combines quality components and thoughtful engineering to provide a noticeable upgrade over factory speakers. It is ideal for drivers who value accurate sound and simple installation without moving into high-end component systems.
