MPK 165P.3 16.5cm 2-Way Component Speakers, 115W, 4 Ohm, 45Hz - 22.5kHz ~ Mille Series ~

Previously had HSK 165 XL speakers installed in my car. Due to unfortunate circumstances I had to build a new setup. Unboxing these beasts already shows that Hertz has taken a no nonsense approach with the design and build of this speaker. The materials all look and feel solid, the cast basket, the speaker surround and the large magnet all inspire a sense of quality. Take note that the included crossover is quite large in size and can pose an issue for some installations in tight spaces. For my setup I am using the following: Audison AP8.9 Bit as processor and amplifier, bi-amped 1/2 and 3/4 channels for each of the MPK165P.3 drivers. The tweeters get their own juice via channels 5/6 and channels 7/8 remain for the rear speakers. The factory crossover is set at 4 kHz, yet I found that in my Renault Clio IV the soundstage got drawn towards the doors too much, I prefer to set the crossovers to 3250 Hz. The sound itself is absolutely amazing, the high's are not too sharp but remain very clear, the mids are deep and full, the low end is also astonishing with a rated response down to 45 Hz these speakers really pack a punch. So much that in a properly treated car you won't even need a subwoofer for most use cases. All in all I would highly recommend these speakers to anyone looking for a superb pair of components with a very nice and clean sound.

I recently installed a new sound system in my 2015 Dodge Dart, and I was going to continue using my Focal PS 165V components, but I kept reading so many positive reviews about Hertz audio. Well let me tell you, I'm so glad I decided to change my components. Don't get me wrong, Focal PS series are some great sounding speakers, but when compared to the Hertz Pro Mille MPK 165P.3 components, the Hertz win hands down! The 3 ohm configuration allows you to draw more power from your amp, plus they can handle quite a bit more power than the Focals (which at the time were close to the same price point). The woofers can also produce a much lower frequency than the Focals, so the mid bass just sounds A LOT BETTER. The tweeters aren't quite as "bright" as the Focals, but that's actually a good thing, as the Focal tweets are a little too bright. The crossovers are outstanding to say the least! All in all, if you're looking for some great sounding components without completely breaking the bank, the Hertz Pro Mille MPK 165P.3 components are, without a doubt, the best sounding set that I've heard without having to spend over $1000. In fact, I have a good friend of mine that has a $1400 set of K2 Focals, and after hearing my Hertz components, he's kicking himself for spending so much money on his set, and said that mine sound just as good, if not slightly better. I also want to add that if you're gonna spend $500 on a nice set of components, be sure NOT to throw them on a mediocre amp! I'm powering mine with a very old school (approximately 1986) Phoenix Gold M44 four channel amp. I can't recommend these speakers enough. If you shop for these online, take your time and find the best deal you can. These speakers are crafted in Italy, and I purchased mine on eBay N.I.B. directly from a seller located in Italy and saved about $200.Plus shipping only took 5-6 days! You can't go wrong with these Hertz components!!! Thank you for reading my review of this excellent set of component speakers! I hope this review was helpful. C.King

Vorab: ich nutze Hertz Lautsprecher Komponenten schon seit Jahren in diversen Autos und war bisher top zufrieden. Daher fiel die Wahl beim geplanten sound upgrade Projekts meines 20 Jahre alten 4x4 Diesels nach stundenlangen Recherchen erneut auf Hertz. Betrieben wird das Zweiweg Set in den original Einbauöffnungen. Zu sehen ist daher von der Installation rein gar nichts. Weitere Komponenten neben den Hertz Frontlautsprechern sind ein Pioneer FH-S720BT CD-Autoradio 2DIN, eine Hertz Digitalendstufe HCP 4D sowie fürs passende Tiefdruckgebiet aus dem Kofferraumboden ein ES300 Hertz 30 cm Basslautsprecher. Die 16er verrichten ihr Werk in Silikontüllen von Zealum - eine sehr empfehlenswerte Investition übrigens. Die Türen wurden komplett mit Alubutyl und Akustikschaumstoff ausgekleidet. Beim Zufallen der Tür macht es jetzt - 450 SEL like - *klonk*. Der Klang des gesamten setups ist einfach nur unbeschreiblich. Ich muss erwähnen, dass ich mir bei diesem letzten Einbau einer Autoanlage in diesem Leben extrem viel Zeit genommen habe und sehr pingelig war. Dies gilt neben der Dämmung auch für die Verkabelung und die anschliessende Kalibrierungs-Hörsitzungen. Dank Pioneer App können Laufzeitkorrekturen vorgenommen werden sowie die Flankensteilheit der wählbaren Übergangsfrequenzen zum Sub gewählt werden. Das 2 Weg System ist in meiner Konstellation bei 100 Hz nach unten abgetrennt, was der Pegelfestigkeit zugute kommt. Die doch äußerlich recht kleine Endstufe macht erstaunlich viel Druck und schiebt nicht nur den 30er heftig an, sondern liefert ebenso unerwartet hohen Pegel ohne hörbare Verzerrungen bis zu einer Lautstärke, die der Ehefrau ausreicht, um erniedrigende Sitzungen beim Eheberater in Betracht zu ziehen. Fazit: alle in dieser Rezension genannten Komponenten kann ich wärmstens empfehlen, da sie auch in einem relativ großen Auto harmonieren. Voraussetzung für ein 1a Endergebnis ist eine sorgfältige Verkabelung 1 zentraler und solide gearbeiteter Massepunkt für Radio und Endstufe), damit das Lichtmaschinensummen anschließend nicht aus den Hochtönern pfeift. Ich bin zu 100% happy und kann HERTZ nur wärmstens empfehlen.

Had top of the line “private label” speakers from an online retailer but they were real lacking in the upper ranges and just didn’t fulfill my expectations. I decided to give Hertz a try and WOW, they are amazing. The sound stage is so much better than the other speakers I decided to order coaxials for the rear doors too. I have had many different Focals and long ago Boston Acoustics Pro’s and these are even better. Once they get broken in I can only assume they will get better. Love them.
