Hertz C165 Cento Series 6.5" 210W 4-Ohm Component Woofers - Pair
Looking to give your sound system a serious upgrade? The Hertz C165 might just be the missing piece your music’s been waiting for. Designed as part of Hertz’s Cento Series, this 6.5" component woofer pair combines raw power with refined performance — perfect for anyone craving full-bodied, clean bass and smooth mids without the muddiness.
Built for Clean, Powerful Sound
Let’s start with the heart of the Hertz C165 — the cone. Hertz didn’t just slap on any old material here. They put in serious R&D time to land on SPP-M: Semi-Pressed Paper enhanced with Mica powder. Why does that matter? You get the best of both worlds — the natural, warm sound of paper with the added stiffness and durability of mica. Translation: deep hits, quick reactions, and a sound that stays lean and focused.
Strength Behind the Scenes
A speaker this punchy needs muscle, and the high-density flux ferrite magnet delivers. It’s oversized for a reason — it keeps things steady and controlled, especially when the bass gets deep or the volume gets cranked. Even when you push these woofers hard, the sound stays clean and detailed.
Handles the Heat — Literally
Inside, the Hertz C165 features a 25mm aluminum voice coil that can handle a surprising amount of power — we’re talking up to 210 watts peak. The aluminum former helps manage heat so you won’t have to worry about performance drop-offs or distortion when things get loud. These drivers are made to take a beating and keep delivering.
No Rattles, Just Music
Hertz also thought about what happens around the cone. The woofer is mounted in a rigid, three-spoke basket with a rubber magnet cover that helps knock down unwanted vibrations. That means no buzzing, no rattling — just clean, precise sound. It's built to stay quiet so your music can stay loud.
Looks Good, Too
Want to keep it protected and looking sharp? While the woofer doesn’t include a grille, it’s fully compatible with the optional CG165 grille. It’s got a high-resistance ABS frame and a slick metal mesh to keep your speakers safe while matching your system’s style.
Engineered for Efficiency
With a sensitivity of 93 dB and a frequency range from 55 Hz to 7 kHz, the Hertz C165 delivers solid performance without needing a monster amp. It’s efficient enough to give you serious output with a modest setup, which makes it a smart choice for daily drivers and custom builds alike.
The Details That Matter
It’s not just about specs — it’s about how it all works together. The suspension compliance, magnet size, and cone stiffness were all tuned to make sure this woofer doesn’t just play bass — it plays it right. You get impact, clarity, and a soundstage that feels more like a live show than a playlist.
