It combines separate woofers, tweeters, and passive crossovers rather than using a single coaxial speaker. This layout allows the high-frequency drivers to be mounted independently for a more tailored installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe system is rated for 150 watts continuous power handling and 300 watts peak at 4 ohms. Its stated 40 Hz to 25 kHz frequency response supports a broad range from low midbass through upper treble. It is intended for installations using compatible speaker-channel amplification or a suitable factory or aftermarket audio source.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ML 165.3 woofer uses a cotton-injected paper cone with an exponential V-cone profile and a Boundary Free IIR rubber surround. Its 36 mm CCAW double-layer voice coil is wound on a Kapton former, while the high-density flux ferrite motor is designed for the woofer’s midrange operation. A three-spoke aluminum-alloy basket with integrated venting supports the driver structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ML 28.3 tweeter uses a 35 mm Tetolon fiber dome and a double-neodymium magnet assembly. Hertz specifies FEA-optimized dome geometry and a larger rear chamber, with a listed tweeter resonant frequency of 900 Hz. These design elements support controlled high-frequency output and installation flexibility in component-system layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe included MLCX 165.3 passive crossover divides the system at 3.5 kHz with a 12 dB-per-octave low-pass\/high-pass network. Its three tweeter-level terminals provide +2 dB, 0 dB, and -2 dB settings, and the Hi-Contour switch changes the tweeter high-pass behavior for different tweeter positions and angles. This makes the set suited to custom door-and-dash, door-and-sail-panel, or similar component-speaker upgrades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-Way Component System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Separate woofers, tweeters, and crossovers support flexible speaker placement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e150W Continuous Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handles substantial continuous system power when properly matched.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTetolon Fiber Tweeters:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35 mm domes provide dedicated high-frequency reproduction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCotton-Injected Paper Woofers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightweight, stiff cone material supports responsive midbass performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable Passive Crossovers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tweeter level and Hi-Contour settings help tailor tonal balance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoundary Free Surround:\u003c\/strong\u003e IIR rubber surround is engineered for improved woofer efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ML 165.3 woofer uses a high-density flux ferrite magnet, CCAW voice coil on a Kapton former, cotton-injected paper cone, and vented three-spoke aluminum-alloy basket.

Wire each woofer and tweeter through its supplied MLCX 165.3 passive crossover, observing polarity and selecting the appropriate tweeter-level terminal. Use the Hi-Contour control and the +2\/0\/-2 dB tweeter setting to help accommodate the tweeter’s final location and listening angle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hertz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45631768264774,"sku":"MLK165-3","price":1049.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/4163\/5910\/files\/71TB4nIXtWL.jpg?v=1784382227","url":"https:\/\/audiowatt.store\/products\/hertz-mlk165-3-6-5-two-way-component-speakers","provider":"Audio Watt Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
