Product Research

Features

Size Classification Note: Some manufacturers, including Hertz, call this size woofer a 6-1/2". Because it requires a larger cutout than a standard 6-1/2" speaker, Crutchfield has traditionally referred to this size as a 6-3/4". Please enter you vehicle information to confirm fit in your vehicle.

Boundary Free Surround: This technology provides more cone surface area than other speakers of the same size, enabling it to move more air. The surrounds are made of butyl rubber, ensuring thermal and mechanical linearity.

Klippel Verified: The Klippel distortion analyzer, a device that uses a laser and computer software to do large-scale analysis of drivers in motion, helps Hertz optimize the speaker's motor structure, voice coil alignment, and suspension to yield the best possible performance.

Tweeter Mounting: The ML 280.3 tweeters are designed to flush mount using the included clamps. They can also be mounted to many factory tweeter brackets using the M3 threaded insert on the back of the tweeter housing. The tweeters are permanently mounted in their housings.

Tweeter Dimensions:

  Flush Mount
Mounting Height 0.618"
Mounting Depth 0.703"
Frame Diameter 2.101"
Cutout Diameter 1.9"

Crossover Settings:

  • Tweeter Level: 3-position switch on each crossover; set the output level of the tweeter to -2 dB, 0 dB, or +2 dB; Hertz recommends 0 dB when the tweeters are mounted off-axis (relative to the listeners) and -2 dB when the tweeters are mounted on-axis
  • Bi-amp Inputs: each crossover has bi-amp inputs, separate inputs for the woofer and tweeter; set the switch to On when using the bi-amp inputs
  • Mid Contour: On/Off; low-pass crossover point set to 2.5 kHz (On) or 3.5 kHz (Off); 6 dB/octave in both positions; in most installations Hertz recommends the 3.5 kHz (Off) setting
  • Hi-Contour: On/Off; high-pass crossover point set to 2.5 kHz (On) or 3.5 kHz (Off); 12 dB/octave in both positions; in most installations Hertz recommends the 3.5 kHz (Off) setting
  • Hi-Boost: On/Off; leave off if tweeters are mounted on-axis (relative to the listeners); turn on if tweeters are mounted off axis; improves linearity of the frequencies above 10 kHz when the tweeter is mounted off-axis

Wiring: The crossover inputs and outputs are set screw terminals; they will accept bare wire up to 8 gauge.

Crossover Dimensions:

  • Width: 7.1"
  • Height: 1.6"
  • Depth: 4.71"

Q
I have purchased these component speakers from Crutchfield and should be receiving them by tomorrow. My question, is there an optional speaker grille for the 6 1/2" speakers that I can purchase? I'm not thrilled with the open bar type grille.

French? Do people randomly answer things? "In 1998 Elettromedia (Italian manufacturer of consumer audio products since 1979) creates the Hertz brand" from their website. Still Italian. Any Hertz and Audison products SHOULD be made in Italy, but production costs could cause changes...

Actually it's a French brand
