Just thought I would share some photo's of my Audio Upgrade on my i30 Premium..

The upgrade includes:
- Hertz Mille MLK 3 PA (Front - 3 Way Splits)
- Hertz HCX 165 (Rear - 2 Way Coaxial)
- Hertz HX300D (12" Dual Voice Coil Sub)
- Hertz HDP4 Amplifier (4Ch)
- Hertz HDP1 Amplifier (Mono)
- Audison bitOne Processor

Along with Custom A-Pillars, Sound Deadening, Custom Equipment Rack (Hidden with Spare Wheel) & all Connection Cabling.. (Still yet to change the Factory Head Unit)

Looks great, the installer did a very professional job

I wonder how long the synthetic flex rim on the mid's and tweeters will last in our summer sun before they turn too powder

Looking very good, must be very good sound in your car now...

Very nice installation, but I just wouldn't bother in a car. How do the specs compare to your home unit 

[Dazzler]

Wow, very impressive .. Do you mind if I ask how much you spent.

Cheers guys..

Yeah I'm a little worried about the synthetic flex on the mids & tweeters, therefore I try my best to keep it parked in the shade..

As for cost, I got lucky as a good mate took care of me with all components.. Install was more than what most ppl charge, but when you go over & look at the qualityl you can understand why..

[Dazzler]

Wow, I wish i had a mate like that!

Wow, that's an impressive upgrade, and indeed well executed too. My upgrade plan is a bit more modest. I came across this thread because I was looking at a pair of HERTZ HCX 165's to replace the stock front-door speakers and I was wondering if they would fit without further modification? Do they fit or will they protrude the standard speaker grille? Thanks.

[Stork]

Nice!

[simz87]

Sorry for the late reply..

The Hertz HCX 165 will fit without a problem in the front or back.. The Mille's have a lot more depth & they fit (just had to file down shroud on inside of door trim)..

[harry_s]

Hey, thanks for replying afterall! The HCX 165's are in the front doors for about six weeks now, and the sound is totally impressive. I bet the Mille's have way more power, but that wasn't what I was going for.
I chose to leave the stock rear door speakers in place, because I prefer a pure frontal sound stage. And it makes for a fun way to let people hear the difference between the upgraded and stock speakers by dialing the front/rear fader all the way up or down.
