Hertz CPX165 Cento Pro Series 6.5" 285W 2-Way Coaxial Speakers - Pair

The Hertz CPX165 brings the legendary Hertz sound to vehicles that can’t accommodate a full component system. This coaxial speaker set is all about giving you clean highs, solid mids, and tight, punchy bass—all from a factory-friendly 6.5" footprint. If you want real performance without reworking your doors, this one delivers.

Tweeters That Sing, Not Scream

Let’s talk highs. These the Hertz CPX165 use a Tetolon dome tweeter powered by a neodymium magnet. That combo means you get smooth, airy treble with excellent frequency extension. It’s never sharp or piercing—just clean and natural, like the artist intended.

Radial Cooling for Clearer Mids

The tweeter is backed by Hertz’s Radial Venting System—eight precision ports that keep the voice coil cool and help the tweeter play lower. Why does that matter? Because it allows for a more seamless crossover with the woofer, giving you a midrange that sounds full and unforced.

Bass That Hits Hard and Clean

You might not expect serious low-end from a coaxial, but this one surprises. Thanks to a pressed paper cone and butyl rubber surround, the Hertz CPX165 delivers tight, extended bass. It’s the kind of punch that makes every beat feel intentional, not bloated.

Ready for Real Power

Don’t worry about pushing these speakers—they can take it. Rated at 95 watts RMS and peaking at 285 watts, the Hertz CPX165 is built with a pure copper coil and high-density ferrite magnet that can handle heat without falling apart. Even when the volume goes up, the sound stays clean.

Design That Looks and Sounds Right

Inspired by Hertz’s higher-end Mille line, the Hertz CPX165 features a sleek, 3-spoke basket and a rubber-coated magnet that minimizes unwanted vibrations. The result? Better sound and a cleaner install. Want even more protection? Add the optional CG165 grilles with a rugged ABS frame and metallic mesh for a tough, factory-style finish.

When space is limited but your expectations aren’t, the Hertz CPX165 gives you the best of both worlds. It sounds bigger than it looks, plays louder than it should, and makes your stock setup feel like a distant memory. This is what a true upgrade sounds like—no extra components required.

FAQs

1. Is the Hertz CPX165 suitable for factory replacement? Yes, it’s built to fit standard 6.5" speaker locations, making it a smart and easy upgrade for most vehicles.
2. Does the tweeter sound harsh at high volume? Not at all—the Tetolon dome and rear chamber design help deliver smooth highs without distortion, even when cranked.
3. Will adding a subwoofer still make a difference with these speakers? Absolutely. While the Hertz CPX165 handles midbass impressively for its size, pairing it with a sub lets it focus more on mids and highs, tightening the overall sound and letting every frequency breathe.
4. What does the Radial Venting System actually do? It cools the voice coil and improves tweeter performance, which leads to a more natural midrange and better overall clarity.
5. Can the Hertz CPX165 handle a powerful amp? Absolutely. With 95W RMS handling, they pair well with aftermarket amps for those who want to push things further. An ideal match would be a 2-channel or 4-channel amplifier that delivers 75 to 100 watts RMS per channel at 4 ohms—enough clean power to bring out the speaker’s full potential without risking damage.
