About the Hertz DSK 165.3
Freshen up your sound
Looking to add a little oomph to your system? Swap out your old speakers for Hertz’s Dieci Series 6-1/2″ component speaker system and take your sound to a new level. An external crossover channels the lower frequencies to a specialized V-cone woofer enhanced for off-axis listening, and directs high frequencies to a separate PEI dome tweeter. Improved linearity and reliable performance give you impressive dynamic range for new enjoyment of old favorites.The Hertz philosophy

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 speaker as a 6-3/4″. Please enter your vehicle information to confirm fit.
Tweeter Mounting: Brackets are included for flush mounting and angled surface mounting (60° or 30°) the tweeters.
Tweeter Mounting Dimensions:

| Frame Width | N/A | 1.463″ | 1.463″ |
| Frame Depth | N/A | 1.535″ | 1.255″ |
Crossovers: The crossovers have input and output wires attached (19″ input, 19″ tweeter output, 12″ woofer output). The woofer has quick slide terminals, but the wire has no terminals attached, so crimp-on terminals can be added (item number 120FQS10PK, sold separately) to provide the needed terminals. The crossover point is 3.5 kHz and the high pass slope is 12 dB/octave. The woofer output is not crossed over.
Crossover Dimensions:
- Width: 2.97″ (3.15″ including the wire)
- Height: 0.86″
- Depth: 1.78″
