Choosing a hertz component setup

[2tall]

Im sure this has been covered a 1,000 times. But here is my dilemma, I am going to start putting together a system for my 13 f250 with sony sync. I have decided on a hertz hdp5 for the amp and will be using a single 12" woofer (have not choosen one yet). And am looking to replace the front crappy speakers. I have been looking at the heartz hsk 165.4, hsk 165xl, and mlk 165.3. Without price being an issue, which would you guys choose? And whats the difference between those 3 sets? I am confused and would appreciate any input from you guys that have experiance. I have been out of the audio game since the 90's and a lot has changed

With sync you need more than just a amp. You need a DSP with a De-equalizer to fix the Sync's stock EQ.

But the MLK is the best.

Like the audio control LC-8I converter? Or are you talking about something else? If so, any specific brand?

Like a real DSP. Audison Bit one has that feature. Or bit ten if you don't need 8 channels.

You can put the best speakers money can buy but if you don't have a way to adjust them it's going to sound like crap

So the audioson bit one will do the same job as the LC-8I? I dont need both correct?

You only need the bit one and it will do 10x than the Audiocontrol. It's Real full DSP. Look it up. It's a big step

Save urself some money. Buy the Hertz Mille Legend ML 1650.3 and the ML 280.3 (woofer and tweeter).....u don't need the crossover (which is where the extra money comes from with those component sets).

Get urself a Bit Ten or Bit Ten D......and ur set. Find someone who is great with tuning....and ur system will sound amazing.

Only reason I say do the Bit Ten or Bit Ten D is because in a truck....u most likely won't need 8 channels (unless you plan on running a 3 way active up front).

Sounds like you just want the woofers in the door....and the tweeters up top. If you run those active (which means without a crossover block).....then you can run those 4 channels of output on the Bit Ten.....then use the 5th channel for the subwoofer(s). You don't need 8 channels.

From there, an experienced audio guy, will hook ur DSP to a laptop....and tune everything to ur liking. Time alignments, slopes, crossover settings, setting low pass and high pass frequencies, etc. Basically all the stuff u don't wanna deal with lol.

If you can, ask if they'll let you sit in the car with them after they've done the basics......and then make adjustments to YOUR liking. Then when it sounds the way you like it....they can save the settings and u can leave without having to worry about how ur gonna change stuff up once ur gone.

If you get the DRC remote and mount it inside the car, you can set up TWO presets....and use the remote to change between which one. Most people use one preset for playing the music to the driver's liking......and then the second preset for when you have a passenger.

OR.....you can set 1 preset for listening to heavy bass music like rap.....and then 2nd preset for easy listening. However u wanna do it. But I DEFINITELYYYY recommend using a DSP. It makes a world of difference and it allows the installer to dial in mostly EVERY part of the system to your liking.
