Hi There,

Installing a set of Hertz MLK 1650.3 Legend 6.5" Components in my new car

Will be running them active off an Audiocontrol D-5.1300 amp, i assume this will be enough power (Meant to be 100w each speaker channel and AC are known for under estimating the figures.

Am i right in thinking this will be ample power, or too much??

I plan to run them active and as much as im running them off a dsp, i still want to add a layer of protection to the tweeters

Can anyone suggest what uF rating capacitor i would run inline with my tweeters?

Thanks

I have those same speakers and was running them active off of a Kicker Key 200.4 which gave them 50 watts rms to each speaker. They can certainly handle more power and I think that 75 or 100 watts would have been better as I always wanted just a little more out of them.

Thanks, How do you find the sound of them?

I'll leave this here, look at the first order C1 column, 3rd column.

Thanks, Thats way over my head but

Thanks, Thats way over my head but

If your tweeters are 4 ohms, use the chart by picking the frequency you want to filter, then choose the capacitor that cooresponds. For 800hz 6db filter, use a 50uF cap.

I use a 40 microfarad (1000 hz) for my 4 ohm tweets.

It depends on what crossover frequency you are choosing but I presume you would be sticking with the original 3.5khz just make sure whatever cap you choose that it's filtering well out of the operating pass band eg: well below 3.5khz , probably any cap that filters from 1k down would be ok , look at the chart that was referenced.

Personally I am not a fan of protection caps and have never used them on my active tweeters I have never blown a tweeter or ever had a problem with not running them.

The Hertz speakers sound great and really do everything very well. The mids can be crossed lower than a lot of 6.5" speakers and the tweeters are clear and smooth with no harshness. Like any 6.5" you will need a sub, but I enjoy them and I am going to install them in my Mercedes as my brother wants to buy the car that they are in.

well Im not using any cap, but I have run these tweeter at 2.5k and 3.15k 24db slopes on my pioneer deh-80prs, they sound really good to my ears. I have about 155w to them. maybe if I had a better dsp, I can try 3.5k

I haven’t installed these yet since I’m still working on the A pillars, but they were only $10 shipped in a few days.
