More about the product
The Hertz CX690 Cento 6x9-Inch Three-Way Elliptical Coaxial Speakers are designed to deliver a rich, full-range sound for car audio systems. This model combines a large elliptical woofer, a Tetolon dome tweeter, and an additional supertweeter, creating a three-way design that covers lows, mids, and highs with impressive clarity. It is an excellent choice for those upgrading factory speakers to achieve a more dynamic and detailed listening experience.
The woofer features a semi-pressed paper cone reinforced with mica, providing natural sound reproduction and added stiffness for improved control and reduced distortion. The Tetolon tweeter ensures crisp, detailed high frequencies, while the supertweeter extends the upper range for extra sparkle and definition. This combination results in a balanced sound profile that suits a wide range of music genres.
The CX690 handles up to 100 watts RMS and 300 watts peak power, offering strong output for aftermarket systems or as a premium factory replacement. Its 4-ohm impedance ensures compatibility with most car audio setups. The design focuses on efficiency and clarity, producing dynamic sound even when powered by a standard head unit, while offering even better performance when paired with an external amplifier.
Installation is straightforward thanks to the standard 6x9-inch elliptical size and included grille. The speakers are designed to fit easily into factory locations, reducing the need for modifications. The build quality reflects Hertz’s commitment to reliability, with durable materials that withstand the demands of automotive environments.
While the CX690 offers excellent clarity and strong mid-bass performance, it is not intended to replace a dedicated subwoofer. For those seeking deep low-frequency impact, pairing these speakers with a subwoofer is recommended. For users who value a balanced sound with improved detail and output compared to smaller speakers, the CX690 delivers impressive performance at a reasonable price.

Look out for Bankstown Sound Recommendations
The Hertz CX690 is ideal for upgrading factory speakers in vehicles that use 6x9-inch mounts. Its three-way design offers better clarity and detail than two-way speakers, making it perfect for those who want a fuller sound without adding a subwoofer. While it delivers strong output, it cannot match the deep bass of a dedicated subwoofer. Compared to entry-level options, it provides superior build quality and sound detail, while remaining more affordable than high-end component systems.
