Default Working on sounds quick question

Looking to replace my front components on my 02 GT. Looking at a brand called Hertz with a JL Audio amp. Looking around 525 installed with amp kit. Anyone know much about the Hertz brand(other than car rentals)?

Thanks for the info. Been checking some reviews as well as calling a few different shops just to check. Have not heard one bad thing about the Hertz brand.

Hertz and JL both make great equipment!!!

JL isn't a good value, but their equipment is pretty nice.

Both are indeed great, not much else to really say about either brand name. I do think JL is overpriced, great equipment though nonetheless. Hertz is some nice stuff, they are still a pretty well kept secret.

Speakers are in with the Hertz and the JL Amp they sound great. Next comes the rear speakers, may be a little while but when done system should rock.

Don't ruin your beautiful front stage will full range rear speakers!!!!!!!!!!!

With that quality of audio the only rear fill you need is a midrange playing from around 100hz to up to around 500-700hz. The majority of car audio people, including myself,and competitors do not run any rear fill.

Should I just leave the factory speakers? I have a pair of 10's in the trunk with an Alpine amp.

I would leave the originals and fade all the way to the front...

If you like rear fill, put the mid range in the back.

Took your advice of fading speakers all the way to the front and believe you and me these speakers sound awesome. I am more impressed now than I was before. I will highly recommend Hertz speakers to everyone.
