Every Hertz speaker sold in the US goes thru Elletromedia. Go to the Elletromedia website and look for dealers there, if the dealer is not listed there they are probably selling counterfeits.

Thanks. I was just looking at dealers on the Hertz website itself.

Let me add my .02. I recently bought the MLK 165.3 from a certain company on this site and in this thread at a great price.
Installed them and within in a few minutes realized I had a blown tweeter. So I message the "very secret" company I bought them from. Sent it to them and within a few weeks had the replacement, no issues at all.
Had I not bought them from this "not named" business and bought them from a NOT AUTHORIZED dealer I would have been screwed. They don't sell the tweeters separately as they only come with the set.
So I have to back up what was already stated, do yourself a solid and buy from an authorized Rep.

My local audio place is both a Sony and Infinity dealer, amongst others. The only online shopping I had done was for the Hertz because I hadn't seen the dealer locator on their sub-site. There are 6 Hertz dealers within 30 minutes of my house. However, now knowing what I know, I would guess the HCX are a good amount over the $193 I had seen, I probably won't be going with them at this point. Maybe one day I will have a way better budget to put towards audio, but budget is the way this go-round.

Call them and ask. The good news is the milles replaced the hcx so the price dropped to around $250 range. The bad news is that supply is low and hard to get.

Random question...any opinions on the JL C2-650x as a budget speaker? Had those pop up in conversation today but haven't seen anybody running them on a bike.

A little bright for a JL product. SQ does not really compare to their higher quality stuff.

U can get better speaks in that tier for the same cash, ska better bank for the buck.
