Hey guys, I'm looking into getting some Hertz Speakers, does anyone have any recommendations on them? I would be getting these through craigslist so is there a way to spot fakes easily? Also, the model is Hertz ESK-165. If I can get these for 150 should I jump on it? What do you guys think? Thanks again guys!

I actually bought my Alpine's through CL, but the seller ended up being a distributor, so it was all "legit". Hopefully you get the same thing.

Well this is a guy who's selling them. Supposedly, he bought them from custom sounds which I believe is a vendor but I'd still like to know what to look for just in case. That and if they would be a good speaker that won't hurt your ears. Because I know some speakers are too harsh at times, especially the tweeters

I had the Hertz high energy 6.5's and they rock out big time with very good mid bass. I have seen fake ones on ebay so be careful. I purchased from a local dealer and paid a little more but they are worth it if you like great loud mids. Not sure how to spot if they are real I say ask for a receipt or where did they come from and verify it

Well they told me they bought them from custom sounds and custom sounds is a distributor but I'm probably still going to ask for some confirmation

My HSK 165s are kick ass. We dont sell alot of Hertz at our shop but the sets we do are all great.

Nice find!

lscamaro · 10-26-2012, 10:47 AM

Thanks a lot for that! I'll keep an eye out for that stuff.
So now, does anyone have opinions on the quality of the esk's? If I can get them for 150 would that be good?

I actually found a better link with pics of the fake and real ESKs.

You want reviews of Hertz speakers from an enthusiastic person? PM Farthestnorth! He's got em, and loves em. I heard them in his car...sounds great!

That was an amazing link, thank you very much.

Well after inspecting his pics and cross-referencing them to the pics in the link amanc gave, they do appear to be real. Now, for 150, possibly less, should I take them?

DragginFrameGMC (intentionally) bought some of the fake HSKs and said that they were pretty good.
