Hertz MPK 165.3 PRO 6.5" 2-Way Component Speaker System
If you've been chasing that perfect in-car sound — the kind where every instrument sits in its own space and vocals feel live — the Hertz MPK 165.3 PRO is built for exactly that. This Italian-engineered 2-way component system pairs a 6.5-inch woofer with a 29mm tweeter and a dedicated passive crossover, giving you a level of audio separation and clarity that coaxial speakers simply can't match.
What is the Hertz Mille Legend MPK 165.3 PRO?
The MPK 165.3 PRO is a 6.5-inch (165mm) 2-way component car speaker system from Hertz's MP (Mille Pro) series. It consists of the MP 165.3 woofer, the MP 25.3 tweeter, and the MPCX 2.3 passive crossover — all engineered to work together as a single acoustic unit. The system handles up to 220W peak power and is designed to deliver deep, extended bass even in vehicles that don't have room for a dedicated subwoofer.

Advanced Technologies
V-Cone® Technology: The MP 165.3 woofer uses Hertz's proprietary V-Cone® cone geometry, which is shaped to maximise sound dispersion across a wide listening area. Instead of projecting sound in a narrow beam, the V-Cone® spreads audio evenly throughout the cabin — so every passenger gets a consistent listening experience, not just the driver.
Boundary Free Surround (BFS): The BFS surround design allows the woofer cone to travel further with less mechanical resistance, which translates directly into deeper, more extended bass. This is particularly valuable in cars without a subwoofer — the MPK 165.3 PRO can reproduce low frequencies that most 6.5-inch speakers simply can't reach.
Low-Resistance Copper Filter Coil: The woofer's 1mm copper filter coil has minimal parasitic resistance, which means more of your amplifier's power actually reaches the speaker cone rather than being lost as heat. The result is a more efficient, more dynamic speaker that responds quickly to transients.
MPCX 2.3 Crossover with Tweeter Level Control: The dedicated crossover is tuned specifically for the MP 165.3 woofer and MP 25.3 tweeter pairing. The built-in tweeter level adjustment (0 dB or +2 dB) lets you balance the tweeter output against the woofer to suit your car's acoustics and your personal preference — without needing an external equaliser.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the Hertz MPK 165.3 PRO include in the box?
A: The kit includes a pair of MP 165.3 woofers, a pair of MP 25.3 tweeters, and a pair of MPCX 2.3 passive crossovers — everything you need for a complete 2-way component installation.
Q: Will the Hertz MPK 165.3 PRO fit my car's factory speaker location?
A: The 6.5-inch (165mm) size fits the most common factory speaker cutout found in doors and rear decks across a wide range of cars. We recommend checking your specific vehicle's mounting depth and cutout diameter before installation.
Q: Do I need an external amplifier to run the MPK 165.3 PRO?
A: Not necessarily. With 92 dB sensitivity, these speakers will perform well with a quality aftermarket head unit. However, pairing them with a dedicated amplifier will unlock their full 220W peak potential and significantly improve dynamics and bass response.
Q: What is the difference between a component system and a coaxial speaker?
A: A component system separates the woofer and tweeter into individual units, allowing you to position the tweeter at ear level (e.g., on the A-pillar or dash) for a much wider, more natural soundstage. Coaxial speakers combine both drivers in one unit, which is simpler to install but limits soundstage imaging.
Q: What is V-Cone® technology and why does it matter?
A: V-Cone® is Hertz's proprietary cone geometry that disperses sound more evenly across the cabin. It means all passengers — not just the driver — hear a balanced, consistent sound rather than a narrow, directional beam.
Q: What is Boundary Free Surround (BFS) technology?
A: BFS is a surround design that allows the woofer cone to move more freely, extending its low-frequency reach. In practical terms, the MPK 165.3 PRO can produce deeper bass than a standard 6.5-inch speaker — useful if you don't have space for a subwoofer.
Q: What amplifier power is recommended for the Hertz MPK 165.3 PRO?
A: The speakers handle 110W continuous and 220W peak at 4 Ohm. An amplifier delivering 75W to 110W RMS per channel at 4 Ohm is the ideal match for clean, distortion-free performance.
Q: Where should I mount the tweeters?
A: For the best soundstage, mount the MP 25.3 tweeters on the A-pillar or dashboard, angled toward the listening position. Door-mounted tweeter positions also work well. The crossover's tweeter level switch (+0/+2 dB) lets you compensate for different mounting positions.
Q: Is the Hertz MPK 165.3 PRO compatible with a standard car stereo head unit?
A: Yes. The 4 Ohm impedance is the standard for aftermarket car audio, and the 92 dB sensitivity means a decent head unit will drive them to reasonable volume. For best results, use an amplifier.
Q: What is the crossover frequency of the MPCX 2.3?
A: The MPCX 2.3 crossover has a cut-off frequency of 3,500 Hz (3.5 kHz), which is a well-chosen point that keeps harsh midrange frequencies away from the tweeter while allowing the woofer to handle the full mid-bass range naturally.
Q: Does the Hertz MPK 165.3 PRO come with a warranty?
A: Yes, Hertz products sold through authorised dealers like Dolphin Accessories come with the manufacturer's warranty. Please contact us for specific warranty terms applicable to your purchase.
Q: How is the Hertz MPK 165.3 PRO different from the standard Hertz MPK 165 or Energy series?
A: The PRO designation places this speaker in Hertz's Mille Pro series, which sits above the Energy and Cento lines. The PRO series uses more advanced cone materials, higher-grade voice coils, and more precisely tuned crossovers — resulting in noticeably better detail, dynamics, and low-frequency extension.
