Hertz DCX 130.3 2-Way Coaxial 5" Peak 80W Car Speaker

The 5-inch speaker is the most common size in Indian cars — front doors, rear doors, and dash positions across hatchbacks, sedans, and SUVs all use it. Which makes the Hertz DCX 130.3 one of the most practical upgrades you can make. It slots straight into your existing 5-inch cutout and immediately delivers the kind of sound that makes you wonder why you waited. Clearer vocals, more defined highs, tighter bass — all from a speaker that installs in minutes and works with your factory head unit.

What is the Hertz DCX 130.3?

The Hertz DCX 130.3 is a 5-inch (130mm) 2-way coaxial car speaker from Hertz's Dieci series. It combines a woofer with a neodymium-backed PEI dome tweeter and a built-in crossover, all in a single unit designed for standard 130mm speaker positions. With 80W peak power handling, 40W RMS, and 4 Ohm impedance, it works with factory head units and aftermarket systems alike. The built-in crossover handles frequency splitting internally, so no external crossover components are needed for a clean, accurate sound.

Advanced Technologies

Built-in Crossover: The DCX 130.3 includes a properly designed built-in crossover that handles frequency division between the woofer and tweeter internally. This means the tweeter only receives the high-frequency content it's designed for, and the woofer handles the rest — reducing distortion and improving overall clarity without any additional components or wiring. For most installations, this makes the DCX 130.3 a true plug-and-play upgrade.

Neodymium Tweeter Magnet: The DCX 130.3's tweeter uses a neodymium (rare-earth) magnet rather than the ferrite magnets found in most budget coaxials. Neodymium delivers a significantly stronger magnetic field from a much smaller magnet, allowing the tweeter to perform with real authority while keeping the overall speaker profile compact enough for tight door installations.

PEI Dome Tweeter: Hertz's polyetherimide (PEI) dome is a signature feature across the Dieci series. PEI reproduces high frequencies with a smooth, natural character — no harshness, no listening fatigue. Whether you're listening at low volume on a slow commute or cranking it up on the highway, the PEI dome keeps the highs comfortable and detailed throughout.

TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) Surround: The TPU surround is one of the most durable materials used in car speaker construction. Unlike foam surrounds that degrade in heat and humidity, TPU maintains its elasticity across the temperature extremes common in Indian conditions — from scorching summer afternoons to monsoon humidity. The result is bass that stays tight and consistent over years of use.

Water-Repellent Paper Cone: The woofer cone is treated with a water-repellent coating that protects it from moisture, condensation, and humidity. This is particularly relevant in India's monsoon season and high-humidity coastal regions, where untreated speaker cones can warp or degrade over time. The treatment extends the speaker's lifespan and keeps the sound consistent regardless of the weather.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size is the Hertz DCX 130.3?
A: The DCX 130.3 is a 5-inch (130mm) speaker. It fits standard 130mm speaker cutouts commonly found in front doors, rear doors, and dash positions in most Indian cars, hatchbacks, sedans, and SUVs.

Q: Does the Hertz DCX 130.3 have a built-in crossover?
A: Yes. The DCX 130.3 includes a built-in crossover that handles frequency splitting between the woofer and tweeter internally. You don't need to buy or install a separate crossover unit — just connect the speaker and it handles the rest.

Q: Do I need an amplifier to run the Hertz DCX 130.3?
A: No. At 4 Ohm impedance, these speakers work directly with factory and aftermarket head units. An amplifier will improve performance further, but it's not required to enjoy a significant upgrade over factory speakers.

Q: What is the RMS power of the DCX 130.3?
A: The continuous (RMS) power handling is 40W per speaker. The 80W figure is the peak rating. For best results, match your amplifier's RMS output to the speaker's RMS rating.

Q: Is the Hertz DCX 130.3 sold as a pair or a single speaker?
A: It is sold as a pair — you receive two speakers in the box, enough for one set of front or rear positions.

Q: What is the frequency response of the DCX 130.3?
A: The frequency response is 65Hz to 21,000Hz. This speaker handles midrange and high frequencies well. For deep bass below 65Hz, pair it with a subwoofer in your system.

Q: Why does the DCX 130.3 use a neodymium tweeter magnet?
A: Neodymium is a rare-earth magnet material that delivers a much stronger magnetic field than ferrite in a smaller size. This allows the tweeter to perform with real authority while keeping the speaker compact enough for tight door installations.

Q: What is a PEI dome tweeter?
A: PEI stands for polyetherimide, a high-performance polymer that Hertz uses for its tweeter domes across the Dieci series. It reproduces high frequencies smoothly and naturally, without the harshness that cheaper dome materials can introduce — making long listening sessions genuinely comfortable.

Q: Is the Hertz DCX 130.3 suitable for Indian weather conditions?
A: Yes. The TPU surround and water-repellent paper cone are designed to handle heat, humidity, and moisture — all common challenges across India's varied climate, including monsoon season and coastal humidity.

Q: What is the impedance of the Hertz DCX 130.3?
A: The impedance is 4 Ohm, the standard for car audio, compatible with virtually all head units and amplifiers.

Q: How does the DCX 130.3 compare to factory 5-inch speakers?
A: Factory 5-inch speakers are typically built to a cost target — basic magnets, no proper crossover, and cheap dome materials. The DCX 130.3 uses a ferrite woofer magnet, neodymium tweeter, PEI dome, built-in crossover, TPU surround, and a water-repellent cone. The improvement in clarity, detail, and bass consistency is immediately noticeable from the first listen.

Q: Is this product genuine and covered by warranty?
A: Yes. Dolphin Accessories sells 100% genuine Hertz products sourced from authorised distributors. Warranty terms follow Hertz India's standard policy — contact us after purchase for warranty support.
