Hertz CK 165
Cento Series 6-1/2″ Component Speaker System
Two-way systems Hertz CK 165 features the new C 26 tweeter featuring a 26 mm (1 in.) Tetolon® dome and 20 mm (0.8 in.) voice coil for detailed and natural reproduction of medium-high frequencies. The R&D team worked extensively to optimize the C 26 dispersion characteristics to maximize performance on the listening point, with a natural and progressive roll-off and a natural timbre that favors frequency linearity. Much time was invested in the research of the perfect material for the C 165 woofer cones: through a long process of customization of the materials, SPP-M was selected (Semi Pressed Paper-Mica), which preserves the natural sound of the semi-pressed paper and enhances it with Mica powder improving rigidity.
The result is an excellent balance between lightness and damping, essential for a powerful and controlled emission. The oversized ferrite magnet provides excellent control even at higher excursions. The ultra-compact CCX 2 crossover featuring tweeter emission level control (0, +3 dB) uses selected components for a full and engaging sound. The CG 165 grilles included in the Cento systems brighten up the car interior with their sophisticated design. Made of high resistance ABS with metal mesh, they offer a high degree of protection within a compact size, ideal for in-car installation.
Best Speaker Design
The Cento Series may sound like magic, but it is the product of meticulous planning and content selection by Hertz’s team of experts. A separate Tetolon® dome tweeter is used in the CK 165 component speaker system for precise sound with a natural timbre and seamless transitions. The semi-pressed paper and mica powder woofer cone deliver the lower frequencies of your music with precision and effect. Superior damping is also important to the sound of these speakers; reduced resonance eliminates distortion, resulting in Hertz’s iconic truer-to-life sound. External, lightweight crossovers with two tweeter levels allow you to fine-tune the sound in your car.

Features of Hertz CK 165
Size Classification Note: Some manufacturers, including Hertz, call this size woofer a 6½”. Because it requires a larger cutout than a standard 6½” speaker, Crutchfield has traditionally referred to this size speaker as a 6¾”. Please enter your vehicle information to confirm fit.
Klippel Verified: The Klippel distortion analyzer, a device that uses laser and computer software to do a 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: Brackets are included for flush mounting and angled surface mounting (60° or 30°) the tweeters.
Tweeter Mounting Dimensions:
| Flush Mount | 60° Angled Surface Mount | 30° Angled Surface Mount | |
| Mounting Height | 0.436″ | 1.375″ | 1.735″ |
| Depth | 0.46″ | N/A | N/A |
| Frame Diameter | 1.728″ | N/A | N/A |
| Cutout Diameter | 1.514″ | N/A | N/A |
| Frame Width | N/A | 1.745″ | 1.745″ |
| Frame Depth | N/A | 1.735″ | 1.375″ |
Crossovers: Each crossover has a tweeter output level switch; choose between 0dB (flat) and +3dB. The crossover point is 2.5 kHz and the slope is 12 dB/octave (low pass and high pass). The inputs and outputs are screw terminals that will accept bare wire or spade connectors up to 0.315″ wide. The woofer has quick slide terminals, so crimp-on terminals can be added (item number 120FQS10PK, sold separately) to provide the needed terminals.
Crossover Dimensions:
- Width: 4″
- Height: 1⅜”
