Hertz HSK-165 vs MLK-165

[sleepybrown 10+ year member]

the Space 1 is better tweeter than the HT25?

The Space 1.1 tweeter IMO is way better than the HT25 that comes with the Hertz HSK 165 set.

I am trying to find where I read this...but I believe that the Space 1.1 is actually the tweeter that is used in the MLK 165 Component set. (ML28) They move up to he ML280 with the higher level of Mille line component set (MLK2).

Before I get bashed for making that statement, I will follow up with my local dealer to get clarification on that though....

Just heard back from my local Hertz dealer and I was correct. The Space 1.1 tweeter is the same tweeter that is used in the MLK-165 component set.

I wouldn't say the HSK tweeter is any worse then the MLK or Space tweeter... it is just a bit more harsh. Depending on the type of music you listen to that may or may not be what you are looking for.

what would you do?

i have the mlk 165 and an audison vrx4.300 (110 wrms x 4, or bridged is 350 x 2)

when i first installed them i had it at 110 goin to each side, and sounded great.

i recently bridged the amp and they sound even better, i lost some of the lower end do to adjusting the high pass crossover point up to 100.

My question is, should i bi-amp them and use 110wrms to each sub and tweet or leave it at 350wrms?

there is no audible distortion, but do you think the speakers can handle the power thermally?

and i really do not want to buy another amp

Where are you guys getting your Hertz if there's no local dealers? Are there any authorized dealers on here?

I'm in Houston, and my car is in the shop right now getting an install done. I have a 2005 Infiniti G35 Coupe, getting the following put in:

-Hertz MLK165

-Hertz ML2500

-Audison LRx5.1k

-Eclipse AVN5510

I am getting it done at an authorized dealer (for Hertz/Audison). Also, let him install it, and Hertz gives a 3 year warranty (installed by a dealer).

I am running an active setup off the amp. Tweets are running high pass off the a-channel at 60W per channel. The mids are running bandpass off the b-channel at 170W per channel. The sub is running off the sub channel (low pass obviously), and it will get 750W @ 4 ohms. I think it should be plenty of power //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I should get my car back on Saturday, so I'll post some pics then.

Let us know the review...btw

You're actually gonna get 50wattsx2/160wattsx2/650wattsx1 according to the CEA2006 Ratings.

Oh, okay -- I was just going by the RMS 4-ohm ratings I found when I downloaded the manual off the Audison site -- guess those are a bit over-inflated?

Yupz go by the CEA Ratings instead of the Companies. Btw, make sure to give us a review on how it sounds. I'm still debating between this Audison 5.1k, Hertz HP2, or the Steg amps.

I'll definitely do that, and you're right -- this review of the amp backs up the ratings you gave me ...

You're gonna love that setup.

I have pretty much the same equipment minus the Eclipse, and instead of the 2500 I have the 3000.

Running it all active and it sounds great.

Good choice on components.

A G35 coupe is a deserving car of such a nice setup!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Ugh.....I want a 5.1k so bad. My US Amps is pretty nice though. That setup should sound really good^^.
