I guess you are replying to me but I'm not certain why? I certainly never used the word "muddied" and honestly not sure *what* I could have said to set you off but I do apologize as I certainly didn't mean to offend. It's your thread and I respect that.
I've been looking at these Hertz 4" speakers and the JL Audio C2-400x.
How do you like the Infinity Ref. speakers? Listening to just about every speaker on the crutchfield website I liked the Infinity the best. Still waiting for the day to install them in a Bronco.
Not sure where you got "set you off" from......I'm not set off at all...???? You took that the wrong way. I was just explaining....No offense taken and still not sure what you are talking about. I'm confused.
Honestly, quite impressed. Make sure you get the 300 hz blockers for the two front dash speakers. For $150-200 upgrade, you can’t go wrong. Update the range to the rear pods via Forscan for a fuller sound. Take it one step further with Kit 11 from @plugnplaykits - and most won’t even need to consider a sub.
Yup = that kit from plpugnplay is just amazing.
anyone have an opinion on this question, specifically? i am currently running JLs in all three dash positions and thinking about swapping left and right dash with HERTZ and center with a midrange component driver PRV...
Hertz has a GREAT sound and the imaging was considerably better. I highly recommend it for the money.
appreciate the feedback. when you say considerably better, is that compared to the JL Audio from personal experience or to OEM/others?
OEM and also Focals, which i first had. it was at least a 60% improvement from the Focals.
I installed the Hertz DCI 100.3’s over the summer. Admittedly a low bar to top, but compared to the factory ones they are great. The Crutchfield rep recommended them over the Focal, suggesting that the Focal were much brighter sounding and would be fatiguing on the listener. These have plenty of treble and tighter mids and the clarity is much improved. As a result I’ve not yet installed a sub, and could do without, but the added bass would be nice to round out the sound so I will do this soon. Highly recommend.
did you only replace the corners, or the center channel as well? i currently have JLs in all three positions and the center channel is overpowering the corners, especially the tweeters - producing the dreaded "sibilance."
