Decided to replace the Five Stock speakers in my 2022 Badlands two door Bronco. These speakers were recommended on several Bronco owners websites. Very happy with the results. Middle front speaker was a pain but other than that all went well

Pros: Plug and play wiring a plus

Huge improvement in 2024 Lexus IS 350 F Sport

Jacob from Harriman, TN on 12/17/2024

2024 Lexus IS350

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

After talking to product support, I was talked into these instead of the AudioFrogs they were 4x as much money, that I was happy to pay for better sound. The system in my new 2024 Lexus IS 350 F Sport is the base system and it is horrible. I've got a full system with Type-X components and subwoofer with Hertz Milli Legend mids in my other car, so the Lexus sounded terrible in comparison. Well, I bought these Hertz DCX100.3 and dropped them into the corner dash in place of the OEM speakers. They have been very impressive, with a wide range that stays crisp. I'd even go as far as saying these little coaxle speakers have more thump than the factory sub in this car. Definitely worthwhile on upgrading, and have already added a JL Audio 8W3v3-4 sub powered by an Audio Control ACM-300, and it's getting real close to where i want this system to be. Overall, would absolutely recommend.

Pros: Read the above

Cons: None so far!

Verified employee review (What's this?)

These Hertz DCX 100s are great 4" for the rear pillar. Install wasn't terrible the adaptor plate was really helpful. I just wish that they came with some mounting screws for the adaptor plate since the Chevys use this dumb screw that screws into a push pin. I've had these for about a week wired to a Pioneer GM-DX874. As long as you set your gains properly these speakers handle the mids beautifluy.

Replaced all three dash speakers and the rear pod speakers with the DCX 100.3. Really impressed with how they opened up the soundstage in the vehicle. Given their high sensitivity, they are actually louder than the OEM speakers.

Big Punch for Small Upgrade

Verified employee review (What's this?)

Replacing the two corner speakers on my dash with these made a world of difference. These are some great speakers with a lot of punch...gave me the bass I was missing and the music doesn't sound as distorted as it use too no matter the volume...good speakers for a small upgrade when u don't want to spend a lot but want to hear a difference

Pros:

Cons: I wish the holes for the screws were plastic...just so happen to have a electric small saw to cut off ....you may need to cut two of the holes off too fit...that was the only con

So i previously had the Focal 4 inch speakers.......I decide to upgrade to the Hertz after doing some research. I cannot be more pleased with the results. Better clarity, better lows, better imaging and a more consistent sound across different music genres. Love it and very happy with the improvement in sound quality. I HIGHLY recommend these speakers :)

Verified employee review (What's this?)

I bought these as replacements for my 2000 Rodeo after all these years. They fit PERFECT and sound fantastic. I did take the opportunity to add a couple s/f of sound deadening material to the inside of the speaker openings. All in all, quite an improvement. Apparently Crutchfield sends things 2nd day air. I got the speakers in just a couple days in well protected packaging.

Pros: Fast shipping, great price, custom installation instructions, SOUND!

Cons: None.

New fit information for 2000 M Roadster Harmon Kardon equipped.

David from MEDFORD, NJ on 9/28/2019

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

Good news! This is an exact replacement for the 2000 M Roadster Harmon Kardon rear speakers if you have those that have their own grill which pops off allowing removal from the front. The clearance of the plastic around the voice coil is tight, possibly necessitating turning the speaker "upside down" so the terminals are on the top rather than bottom. The colors on the leads are not what is specified in the repair manual. Same color scheme on right and left, so probably pigtails from a connector that can't be seen. Polarity is clearly marked on the old speakers so follow that. Picture included is how I carefully soldered the new connections.

Pros: sounds great! Easy install!

Cons: none

Hertz DCX 100.3

Robert from Okemos, MI on 3/18/2019

2003 Subaru Impreza WRX

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

Installed in rear doors of 2003 Subaru WRX. A bit disappointed in these. The basket is rather thin and flimsy and doesn't cover the cut-out. The stock speakers have a bigger, sturdier basket. see picture, that completely covers the cut-out. The new ones just have ears that stick out, technically making it a 4-inch speaker but leaving a gap. I dug around and found some spare vacuum tubing and cut some slots in it to fit around the ears and close the gap, see picture. A kluge that should not have been necessary. I'll eventually build a proper bracket. They sounded downright awful at startup but eventually broke in after about 8 hours. They sound okay now but not as good as hoped. I even replaced one with the stock speaker for comparison. The Hertz speaker was more dynamic and had a bit more resolution but was surprisingly not very good at voices, sounding hollow and boxy. The stock speaker sounded better. I should have considered the wisdom of replacing a four inch speaker that wasn't broken.

Pros: They look nice.

Cons: They don't fit the cut out in my car. The sound was disappointing.
