Upgrade to factory speakers

Easy to install in my car door with extra brackets recommended by Crutchfield. Very good sound in this price range.

Great speakers for the price. Overall sound is very good. I chose these speakers because of their high sensitivity rating to power with my aftermarket head unit. Some people complain of lack of bass or less bass than factory speakers but I did not experience that, quite the opposite actually. I listen to a wide range of music and the speakers produce good highs, mids and bass. I have a small 2 seater car, these are the only speakers. I took some precautions when installing them by putting some sound deadening inside the door and then I sealed all of the holes in the door with sound deadening also, doing this dramatically increased the bass.

Very underwhelming

Very underwhelming experience. The Crutchfield website recommended this speaker set among others for my vehicle based on my responses to their questions. I chose one of their suggested products expecting an improved sound, but I am really disappointed. My factory paper front door speakers were much better. I can't even hear these speakers. This is especially disappointing because II completely dynamated both front doors as part of the installation. This alone, should have noticeably improved the acoustics and sound quality. Huge let down. I'm not sure why Crutchfield thought these were an upgrade.

I'm old school. Never heard of this brand in my life. Installed these babies in 2010 Toyo Tacoma with the JBL Stage A6002. These speakers rock. Crisp, clean highs and mids were extremely impressive. I will definitely buy this brand again. Watch out Bose and Infinity, Hear comes Hertz!

I bought these to upgrade the original woofers and tweeters in my 2001 Tundra. I did not believe I needed them but I already replaced the radio with a JVC 250BT and the rear woofers with the Hertz 170X, so I was on a roll. There is a big, noticeable improvement in the sound and quality of the music. I am not running an amp or subwoofers and this set up is fine for me. As far as the install, the woofers went in fine with little customization. The tweeters needed a 1 inch spacer to place the them further into the door panel. I used double sided tape and secured the spacer to the factory bracket and then used more tape to secure the spacer to the tweeter. It was wired red to red and black to black.

Sounds better, not great, but still an upgrade

Installed in my Ford Expedition XLT. The definitely sound better than stock speakers especially in the highs. Lacks bass, but can play louder without sound getting distorted. I have to turn bass way up and treble way down. The tweeters were easy to install in back door with just some hot glue using factory grill, but front pillar took some customizing using metal. Lake of bass was more noticeable with crutch field recommended sound baffles installed, once I removed the sound better.

Very Happy

Great replacement speakers for our 2015 Nissan Rogue. They are clear and crisp with nice base tones. Actually better than the Bose speakers that came with the vehicle. We are very happy!

4.5 stars - I wanted high sensitivity speakers that would get loud off HU power. Sound good for the price. Pioneer A series or my the image dynamics I got for $120ish sound a smidge better but wouldn't be as loud off of the HU. Not a bass heavy sound even with full dynamat. The wired in tweeter capicitor makes wiring install easy. Included tweeter mounting brackets work but aren't great

Nice Upgrade

Perfect upgrade to my existing front speakers for my 2007 Corvette. Due to its high sensitivity of 98.5 my JVC head unit could easily power up these speakers and with a good power handling of 70 watts RMS it is ready for an amplifier upgrade in the future. These speakers sound great at a budget price. I listen to wide variety of music from Country, Rock, POP, and Techno,, it sounds fgood or every genre.

An extremely cost-effective upgrade to my (23-year-old!) factory speakers. Tweeters are very clear and cut through the noise of the road. The included pods were an incredible help to adapt the tweeters for mounting in my car.

Good sound. Even from stock head. My middle aged ears struggle with the highs tho. Had to tone down the treble because the twitters make my ears bleed. Btw, Crutchfield customer service is amazing. I'm a pretty capable person, but a phone call away, they had a guy who made it seem like he was here with me during the install.

Excellent rear deck choice for the price.

These speakers were an excellent choice for the rear deck installation of a 2012 Honda Civic LX with a dedicated amplifier. Some reviews have commented on the dominance of the output of these speakers. This is to be expected if connecting the 4-Ohm woofer with the 4-Ohm tweeter in parallel, yielding a 2-Ohm load on the channel. If you're fine tuning with your amplifier, you'll come out way ahead of the game with the Hertz K 170's. The 2012 Civic required customization to accommodate the tweeter (this was expected). The rear pillar trim panels made for a great location and fitment, with ample wire routing options to connect everything up. Surface mounting rings provided in the box were used to achieve a nice visual integration. The tweeters round out the full spectrum in the rear of the vehicle, complemented by a down-firing subwoofer in the trunk. A bit more customization was required to fit the woofers into the Honda mounting bracket kit (provided by Crutchfield). Some minor trimming of the mounting bracket and the fitment was ideal, without needing to trim any of the Civic's rear deck panel. For the price, these are a great option.

I should have done more research cause I put them in the rear and they're louder than the fronts. Highs very clear. mods are kinda weak. Not much improvement over stock. Running around 25 watts rms to them.

Can't beat the price

Great speaker for the price point. I was a little hesitant at first, but I was also on a budget. After the install I was happy I chose this set. I replaced the factory speakers on my Escape and kept the factory radio. I couldn't believe the bass from these, normally I don't expect much from a component set, it's mostly for the mids and highs but these things are pretty good on the low end as well. I added the Kicker Key 180 and WOW, that little guy really woke up the sound, was SUPER impressed with the end results!

These speakers are (okay) if your installing a subwoofer with them. Seriously lack bass, and have a very over powering high range that almost hurts to listen to without EQ adjustment. Was pretty disappointed at first but adding a sub seems to have rounded out the sound okay.

"Winner Winner Chicken Dinner"

By the time I got around to installing these speakers, after unboxing and looking them over, I had talked myself into thinking I had made a mistake and I wasn't going to like them. I was ready to hate on them fairly heavily. I was WAY wrong. These speakers sound amazing. Highs are crystal clear. Lows are accurate and defined, warm and smooth, with perfect separation. In the past I have had issues with paper cones not reproducing some forms of media very well. These speakers give extremely accurate reproduction of all media types. Don't let the entry level price frighten you away from these superb components. I would have given 6 stars but there are only five. If you don't like the way these speakers sound, you did something wrong.

Have to adjust to get proper sound.

Installed these in my 06 Tundra Crew Cab fronts, to replace blown components. At first I thought these were crap and other negative reviews are right, Highs unbearable and no bass from mid. After 2 days of thinking these are crap I decided to tune these with my receiver. I have a Kenwood DPX500BT pushing these and with right HPF and LPF cutoffs adjust now I can tell the difference. Before I was only able to go to 24 on volume before they got unbearable and distorted, now I personally max out at 30. That is loud enough for me and they still aren't distorted. My receiver seems to push them with no problem without an amp. True the mids don't have the big thumping bass but it is a mid woofer and it's doing the frequency it should be doing. I will be adding a under-seat woofer for the missing thump. After 2 weeks with these components I really do like them.

HORRIBLE SPEAKERS!

Horrible speakers! After spending my hard-earned money on the advice of a Crutchfield representative in which I was informed these will be the "perfect fit and right speakers" for my musical needs. Installed the speakers which were a breeze to do, well to my disbelief they sounded absolutely HORRIBLE! The stock speakers sounded A LOT better than the "recommended speaker upgrade. Contacted Crutchfield again, and they replaced the speakers for Infinity Reference 6530cx and 6532ex.

Phenomenal Replacements for OEM

These speakers fit perfectly in my C6 Corvette and sound phenomenally better than the stock door speakers (8" woofer, and 3.5" squawker). It brought the Mid and High Tones to the front of the car which really add to the sound stage. The 6.75" Woofers fit easily into the 8" openings in the Door Frame with the Crutchfield Provided Brackets. The Tweeters fit into the 3.5" openings in the door panel with custom brackets made out of a sheet of ABS. I would highly recommend upgrading to these components in your C6 or any car.
