Make it work.

Can't afford an amp for powering them for now, but as replacement over stocks. They sound great and not hard at all to install.. people complain about the crossover box, all I have to say is be creative and make it work. Wasn't an issue for me at all, I mounted them to the door vs inside the door. The metal part. Fit perfectly. Can't wait for an amp... thanks..

Pros: Better than stock and sets you up for better..

Cons: No cons, stop looking for complaints when you as a person buys something.. research and if you can't afford something, save for what you really want. But these work for me until I can afford an amp..

Honestly such great quality. Straight forward install only tricky thing is that the crossover is fairly large but that's not too much of an issue.

Pros: Sound quality Music enhancement

Cons: crossover size

Very Nice speakers. I have them powered by a bridged 4ch Alpine putting out 130 watts a side. Plenty clear and loud. Doesn't disappoint. Good mid bass strong mids and highs. Once dialed in I am pleased with components.

Pros: Clear, loud and flexible with tones can handle big power.

Cons: Price but you get what you pay for.

I switched out my kicker KS 3.5 dash and 6x9 door speaker to these since I'm using a kicker key 200.4. It was running at 2 ohms -parallel(and the amp is not 2 ohm stable) I was a little nervous going from 4 woofers and 4 tweeters to a component set. I was thinking it wouldn't be as full sounding, but I was so so wrong. The Hertz tweeters are louder, clear and sound way better. The woofer is also way better. These speakers are sensitive at 93db, so my 50x4 watt amp really makes them loud. I have kicker 6.5 coaxial speakers in the rear and am thinking of switching them out for another set of components. The gain it turned up higher in the rear, but the fronts are still louder. After running the DSP they are simply amazing. This with the kicker key 500.1 and a downward firing 12" sub makes my car sound like a live concert. I was thinking of getting Focals, but was concerned about harsh tweeters. These are very smooth and clear with no ssssss or harsh sounds.

Pros: Clear, loud, sensitive to low power, not harsh

Cons: Expensive

Seems like there are not a lot of reviews on these speakers so here one. All I need to say is if you are an audiophile these are for you. Please, Please make sure you use these with a good amp.... Don't expect to run them on deck power. If you don't know alot about car audio don't waste your money. Now if you want truly amazing sounding speakers, buy these now. They are truly worth the price, hands down. I have them installed on a JL amp and they sound absolutely amazing and there not even broke in yet. I can turn them up and up and up and they are crystal clear at every level. The mid bass when set right sounds like little subs in the door, amazing. Anyone who says they don't have mid bass are people who don't know car audio. You can also adjust the tweeter to high and soft whick is great. I have mine set to the softer setting and WOW... I could go on but I'm done now. If you want a great speaker, these are the ones.

Pros: Best speakers I've ever heard

Cons: There are none. But to be fair I'll give you the only one that I can think of. No speaker wire included....lol

Exactly what I needed it

Casca from Monterey, CA on 4/24/2022

Verified employee review (What's this?)

Installed them in the rear doors of a GS350, to help build a fuller soundscape. They went in without any issues except for the crossovers. They're pretty big. In the end I got them to fit with some minor adjustments. And what an improvement it was. The higher sensitivity really helped to create a more rounded cabin experience, with noticeable undertones and brilliant highs. Break in time will only improve what's already there. Very pleased. Big thanks to the Crutchfield staff for help with an exchange and technical guidance regarding parallel wiring.

Best components I have ever owned. Installed in custom kick panels in my 07 Mustang GT paired with a Fosgate T400 amp and I am hearing details in my music that I have never heard before. Great bass response and the tweeter is loud without being harsh. Been running these over 8 months now and I could not be happier with them.

These things sing when combined with the JL RD 400/4. I have never hear a better pair of speakers in my life. Once you get them tuned right and feed em the juice they want you won't be disappointed! Perfect for Rock music like Tool.

Baaaaaaaaad set of component speakers. These things rock. While dialing in my system using my LCQ-1, I had my car rocking. No joke, it honestly sounded like I had my sub plugged in. Definitely worth it if you love your music like I do

So far so good. I just installed these and they sound great. They replaced some fosgate components that I had no complaints with. They just wore out. I like my music loud and clear. The hertz fit the bill and more. They have a very full sound with no distortion. Great buy

Crutchfield customer from Austin, TX on 1/12/2021

2004 Land Rover Discovery

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Installed in my Landrover Discovery 2. Fully deadened doors, roof, and hatch door. I'm running these off Pioneer hu at 14 watts rms per channel and even though they are rated for much higher they sound really, really, good. I have the tweeters mounted on-axis at 60 degrees and even when I have the volume at 50, they mesh with the overall sound. Can't even tell they are pointed at me. I've got an amp on order that will be giving them 100 watts per and can only imagine how much better they will sound...

Pros: audiophile quality, good mids and highs

Cons: none.
