Hertz CK 165 | Cento Series 6.5" 2-Way Component System
The Hertz CK 165 is a premium 165 mm (6.5") component system engineered to provide a detailed and natural soundstage for the discerning listener. Featuring the new C 26 tweeter and the C 165 woofer, this system is the result of extensive R&D focused on achieving frequency linearity and a natural timbre. It is the perfect choice for those who want a high-fidelity "Sound Experience" that remains balanced and engaging even at high volumes.
Product Highlights
Tetolon® Dome Tweeter: The system includes the C 26 tweeter, featuring a 26 mm (1") Tetolon® dome and a 20 mm (0.8") voice coil. This combination delivers a detailed yet natural reproduction of medium-high frequencies, with dispersion characteristics optimized to maximize performance at the specific listening point in your vehicle.
SPP-M (Semi Pressed Paper-Mica) Cone: The C 165 woofer uses a specialized SPP-M cone. By adding Mica powder to semi-pressed paper, Hertz has achieved an excellent balance between lightness and damping. This increased rigidity results in a powerful, controlled emission that brings energy and precision to your mid-bass.
Ultra-Compact Crossovers: The CCX 2 crossover is designed with a minimal footprint to simplify installation. It features a tweeter emission level control (0, +3 dB), allowing you to fine-tune the high-frequency balance to suit your vehicle's interior and your personal listening taste.
Oversized Ferrite Magnet: The woofer's motor assembly utilizes an oversized ferrite magnet. This provides exceptional control over the voice coil, even during high-excursion musical passages, ensuring that your audio remains clean and distortion-free.
Key Features
High Sensitivity: With a 93 dB SPL rating, the CK 165 system is incredibly efficient, making it a massive upgrade for factory systems while providing the headroom to excel with aftermarket amplification.
Sophisticated Grilles Included: The system comes with the CG 165 grilles. Made of high-resistance ABS with a metal mesh, these grilles offer a high degree of protection for your woofers while adding a sleek, modern look to your car's interior.
Linear Frequency Response: The R&D team spent significant time ensuring a progressive roll-off and natural timbre, resulting in a system that reproduces music exactly as the artist intended.
Install-Ready Design: The compact dimensions of both the woofer and the "hidden" crossover design make this system compatible with a vast majority of 6.5-inch factory mounting locations without the need for extensive modifications.

What Others Are Saying
Eddie was great - SDCS installed a new head unit in my 2019 4Runner. He was honest in his opinions regarding the options I was considering. Pricing was also good - he was able to reuse some of my existing installation kit so I saved a bit of $$.Installation was clean and fast and he took the time to walk through the features before I left. Highly recommend!!
I had a great time at this shop! The staff really knows their stuff and took the time to explain the different options without pressure. Installation was quick, clean and professional. Everything looks factory and sounds amazing. The prices were fair and customer service was above and beyond. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for quality car audio and excellent service.
Those guys are really professional! I had a new Alpine floating head unit installed in my 2008 Mercedes, and it feels like a brand-new car. The installation was super clean. At first, the sound wasn’t the same as the factory stereo, but Kevin tuned it to be just as good—if not better—without adding any new amps. They even used my factory GPS antenna so I don’t have extra wires hanging out. On top of that, they matched the online price. Big thanks to Kevin and Eddie—highly recommended!
Kevin was awesome, he took his time and explained everything to me. I went in initially for a dash cam install and then decided to get a sub and amp installed as well. Both turned out great and will be returning if I need more work done.
Came In not knowing what to expect when suddenly my stereo stopped working. Spoke with Kevin in the front and after a VERY fast diagnosing they discovered my wiring was incorrect. After only about 45 minutes total being in the store I was on my way to the beach with a working stereo again! Thank you so much SDCARSTEREO
Highly recommend Kevin and the team at San Diego Car Stereo for any issues with aftermarket stereos. I bought a car with an aftermarket stereo and AC unit that wasn’t working properly—specifically, the heat wasn’t functioning due to an improper setup. I had several people look at it with no luck, and even the dealership basically refused to help because it was an aftermarket install. I came to Kevin and his team over the holidays feeling pretty defeated, but he was confident he could get the heat working before I headed back to a Colorado winter. Sure enough, he got it done.
