I was offered a pair of Hertz ESK165 for $165, shipped. Are they quality speakers?

Hey guys, I've been looking to upgrade the sound in my Jeep. I have my amp mounted, just needs to be hooked up and I was wondering if these speakers are quality pieces...

I don't know if you're driving a YJ, but yeah, it does **** working up inthere. I had a lot of trouble getting the old ones out. I actually have a new metal dash piece (that isn't as rusty), so when I install that I'll install front speakers. Thanks

I was looking around for component speakers, are these ok: http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=12200? I'm mainly concerned about sensitivity and efficiency. I guess if you have never seen them in person you wouldn't know but I figured I would ask. I'm just...

That's crazy.

Ok guys, I've done more research and a little "window shopping". Crutchfield's learning center has a lot of good information. While looking into amp wiring, and wiring kits, I came across this: http://www.crutchfield.com/Learn/learningcenter/car/cable_gauge_chart.html Is this guide correct? My...

that's a cool looking amp.

First of all, when I said : , I meant to say Subwoofer, not amp. That's what I'm thinking. I have no problem spending money further down the line. Right now getting a set of comps and 4x6's and running those off the amp are more realistic and actually will cost less right now. I also don't...

Alright. So I wouldn't give rear comp speakers amplified power because they are less important speakers? So just forget the amp for now. It sounds like I would be better off purchasing an amp and sub further on down the line because currently I won't have a lot of power for it. Would the...

Ok. So the front two channels of the power amp would control the front 4x6s, and the rear two channels would be bridged for the sub? And then the head unit would power the component speakers? I'm having trouble understand why I wouldn't want the amp to control the component speakers. Would the...

Flexing? Jeep? That wasn't what I was expecting :P That's insane how much bass you have, though. Have fun.

That's really great advice, thanks. Thanks for the recommendation, too. There are so many different types of speakers out there, it's hard to find a good product. What do you mean by rear highs? I'm assuming they are smaller speakers mounted further back? Because if that's the case Jeep's got...

First of all, thank you for finding those subs for me. That's a really great price. I actually have another thread so I forgot to mention a couple things. It's a 91 Jeep wrangler, so there isn't a lot of space. Right now, I'm planning on using the amp I currently have and run four speakers...

Ok I have new information. I finally found the owner's manual for my amp online. So I know I should only pay attention to RMS watts, how do I know what the Watts RMS is on my amp? http://inform3.kenwoodusa.com/manuals%5Ckac746.pdf The technical specifications are located on the last page...

I like the sound of that. I figure I would need an amp that is more powerful than what I have (4x100W) in order to give sufficient power to the speakers and the sub though. I was thinking about the sound bar idea. I was thinking of going with the box behind the rear seat, although underneath...
