Hertz DSK 130.3 5" 2-Way Peak 120W Component Car Speaker System
Not every car has room for a 6.5" speaker, but that doesn't mean you have to settle for mediocre sound. The Hertz DSK 130.3 packs the same Dieci series engineering into a compact 5" (130mm) form factor — giving you the V-cone woofer, neodymium tweeter, and cable-integrated crossover that make this series so popular, just sized right for tighter door panels and dash locations. At 120W peak and 93dB sensitivity, it punches well above its size.
What is the Hertz DSK 130.3?
The Hertz DSK 130.3 is a 5-inch (130mm) 2-way component speaker system from Hertz's Dieci series. It pairs a woofer with Hertz's exclusive V-cone® profile with a high-performance PEI membrane tweeter driven by a neodymium motor. The passive crossover is integrated directly into the connection cables, keeping the install clean and simple. It's designed for cars where space is limited but audio quality is not up for compromise.

Advanced Technologies
V-cone® Woofer Profile: Hertz's V-cone is a proprietary cone geometry that maintains accurate sound reproduction across a wide listening angle. In a car, where speakers are rarely aimed directly at your ears, this matters a lot — the music sounds consistent and detailed whether you're the driver, front passenger, or sitting in the back.
TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) Surround: The surround connects the cone to the speaker basket and plays a big role in how the speaker handles movement. Hertz uses TPU because it stays flexible and dimensionally stable across temperature extremes — critical in Indian conditions — while keeping distortion low even when the woofer is pushed hard.
Neodymium Motor Assembly: The tweeter uses a neodymium magnet, which is far stronger than a conventional ferrite magnet at a much smaller size and weight. This allows the tweeter to reproduce high frequencies with greater accuracy and extend further up the range — all the way to 23kHz — for that open, airy top end that separates good speakers from great ones.
PEI Membrane Tweeter: Polyetherimide (PEI) is a high-stiffness, low-mass material used for the tweeter dome. It responds quickly to high-frequency signals without flexing or distorting, which translates to smooth, detailed treble that stays pleasant even at higher volumes — no harshness, no fatigue.
Cable-Integrated Passive Crossover: The hi-pass crossover filter is built directly into the connection cables rather than housed in a separate box. This simplifies installation significantly — fewer components to mount, fewer wires to route — while keeping the signal path clean and the crossover point consistent.
Benefits
- 🎵 Hear clarity and detail in your music that factory speakers simply can't deliver

- 🚗 Works straight out of the box with a factory head unit — no amplifier required
- 🛠️ Simple installation thanks to cable-integrated crossover and included accessories
- 🌡️ TPU surround handles India's heat and humidity without degrading over time
- ⚡ 93dB efficiency means great volume without straining your car's electrical system
Who Should Buy the Hertz DSK 130.3?
- Owners of compact or mid-size cars with 5" speaker locations (hatchbacks, sedans, SUVs)
- Anyone upgrading from flat factory speakers for the first time
- Audio enthusiasts who want a genuine component system in a smaller footprint
- Drivers running a stock head unit who want maximum output from limited power
- Those building a staged audio system and need a reliable, compact front-stage
- Anyone who wants Hertz Dieci quality but needs a 5" fit rather than 6.5"

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size is the Hertz DSK 130.3?
A: The DSK 130.3 is a 5-inch (130mm) component speaker. It fits cars with a standard 5" speaker location — common in many hatchbacks, sedans, and compact SUVs.
Q: Do I need an amplifier to use the Hertz DSK 130.3?
A: No. With 93dB sensitivity and 4 Ohm impedance, these speakers perform well with a factory head unit. Adding an amplifier will improve dynamics and headroom, but it's not required.
Q: What is the difference between the DSK 130.3 and the DSK 165.3?
A: The main difference is size. The DSK 130.3 is a 5" (130mm) speaker, while the DSK 165.3 is a 6.5" (165mm) speaker. Both share the same Dieci series technology, but the 165.3 handles more power (160W peak vs 120W) and goes slightly lower in bass (50Hz vs 60Hz).
Q: What is the RMS power of the Hertz DSK 130.3?
A: The continuous (RMS) power is 60W. The peak power handling is 120W.
Q: What frequency range does the DSK 130.3 cover?
A: It covers 60Hz to 23,000Hz (23kHz), giving you good mid-bass response and very detailed high-frequency reproduction.
Q: What is the V-cone woofer in the Hertz DSK 130.3?
A: V-cone is Hertz's proprietary cone profile designed to maintain accurate, consistent sound at wide listening angles — so the music sounds great even when you're not sitting directly in front of the speaker.
Q: Does the Hertz DSK 130.3 come with a crossover?
A: Yes. The passive hi-pass crossover is integrated directly into the connection cables, so no separate crossover box needs to be mounted.
Q: What impedance is the Hertz DSK 130.3?
A: The impedance is 4 Ohm, which is compatible with virtually all factory and aftermarket head units and amplifiers.
Q: Is the Hertz DSK 130.3 suitable for Indian weather?
A: Yes. The TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) surround is engineered to stay stable across a wide temperature range, making it well-suited for the heat and humidity typical across India.
Q: Which cars is the Hertz DSK 130.3 compatible with?
A: Any car with a 5" (130mm) speaker location. This includes many popular Indian market cars — hatchbacks, compact sedans, and some SUVs. Check your car's speaker size before ordering.
Q: Can I pair the Hertz DSK 130.3 with a subwoofer?
A: Absolutely. The DSK 130.3 handles frequencies from 60Hz upward, so pairing it with a subwoofer for the lowest bass is a natural and popular combination for a complete audio system.
Q: Is this product genuine and covered by warranty?
A: Yes. Dolphin Accessories sells only 100% genuine Hertz products sourced from authorised distributors. Warranty terms are as per Hertz India's official policy.
