More about the product
The Hertz SX165NEO SPL Show is a high-performance 6.5-inch 2-way coaxial speaker designed for car audio systems that demand loud, clear sound. Built for SPL applications, this model combines precision engineering with rugged durability, making it ideal for competition-level setups or serious upgrades.
The SX165NEO features a water-repellent pressed paper cone that delivers natural sound with excellent rigidity. This design ensures fast response and accurate reproduction while protecting against moisture in automotive environments. The cone works with a lightweight copper voice coil wound on a heat-resistant former, providing thermal stability and consistent performance even during extended high-power use.
A neodymium magnet powers the motor structure, offering strong magnetic flux for precise control while keeping the speaker compact and lightweight. The integrated tweeter ensures crisp high frequencies, creating a balanced sound across midrange and treble. This makes the SX165NEO an excellent choice for systems that require both loudness and clarity.
Power handling is impressive, with the SX165NEO rated at 100 W RMS and 200 W peak. Combined with a sensitivity of 96.5 dB, this speaker delivers high output even with moderate amplification. Its wide frequency response ensures detailed audio for vocals, instruments, and highs, making it suitable for SPL-focused setups.
Installation is straightforward thanks to its standard 6.5-inch size and robust steel basket, which adds rigidity and reduces unwanted vibrations. The SX165NEO is optimised for open-air installations, such as door panels or custom enclosures, where maximum output is required.
The Hertz SX165NEO SPL Show combines lightweight design, high power handling, and SPL performance, making it a reliable choice for anyone seeking impactful sound in a car audio system.

Look out for Bankstown Sound Recommendations
The Hertz SX165NEO SPL Show suits car audio enthusiasts who want strong midrange and high-frequency output for SPL or competition systems. It is ideal for open-air installations and works best when paired with a subwoofer for full-range sound. Compared to entry-level speakers, it offers higher sensitivity and power handling, making it suitable for louder setups without sacrificing clarity. However, it is not designed for deep bass reproduction, so it is less suited for those seeking extreme low-end frequencies. For those focused on impactful midrange and crisp highs, this model is a solid choice.
