 Hertz SPL Show Stoppers Add Flawless Highs and Mids to Floorless Bass
The Hertz SPL Show range of products has been extended with the addition of two mid-range products and a bullet tweeter to the existing three subwoofers released earlier this year.
Hertz SPL show can now be used to build an entire matched system with tremendous impact and almost unparalleled SPL performance.
As with the subs, the mid-range moving assemblies are equipped with very large motor structures and all SPL Show components employ an extremely compact aluminium wound voice coil, reducing weight to a minimum whilst remaining thermally efficient.
Special attention has been paid to the development of the venting system for the voice coil and magnetic assembly. In the mid-range drivers, dissipated air is eased through holes in the bottom plate of the speaker. The cones are pressed paper finished with Polypropylene dust cap domes, combining light weight and robustness which contribute to high SPL readings whilst remaining musical at all levels.
![SV165[1]](http://fourcarsblog.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/SV16511-150x150.jpg "SV165[1]") Mid-range drivers, SV 165 and SV 200, 165 mm and 200 mm respectively, also feature a copper core and double-wave surround to maintain linearity even under extreme excursion.![ST25[1]](http://fourcarsblog.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/ST251-150x150.jpg "ST25[1]")
The ST 25 tweeter, with its 25 mm flat wire wound voice coil, features an extra-light aluminium membrane with high thermal dissipation, an extremely powerful Neodymium REN® magnet and a highly efficient compression loaded horn, designed for maximum high frequency acoustic pressure. Handling up to 100 Watts peak, the tweeter is as much about robustness of assembly as it is high frequency reproduction.
The complete range of SPL Show speakers can be seen and heard in Four’s new FIAT Panda demonstrator. The system includes: 16 x SPL Show SX 250 – 10 inch subwoofers, eight pairs of SPL Show SV165 – 6 inch midranges and four pairs of SPL Show ST25 tweeters all driven from a Hertz SPL Monster, 15KW amplifier. The vehicle has recently been measured at 155.3dB (dB Drag rules) and has cracked a windscreen at each show it has attended so far.
The SPL Show range is available now from all FOUR and FOUR MASTER outlets
ST 25 Tweeter, 100Watts Peak – £149.99
SV 165, 165mm Mid-range, 300 Watts peak – £184.99
SV 200, 200mm Mid-range, 400 Watts peak – £229.99

Hertz HE Amplifiers from FOUR MASTERS – Power Your Pleasure! Looking for some proper sound reinforcement? With the proliferation of substandard, cheap amplifiers on the market, it is good to find that Hertz amplifiers have hit new heights with this range of solidly built high quality, entry level amplifiers. The range which includes class AB 2 and 4 channel amplifiers as well as a class D monoblock are cooled by a solid die-cast heat sink for maximum heat dissipation as well as offering a business-like design which will look at home in any install.
Hertz HE features both speaker and line inputs offering a pseudo balanced noise free input with great flexibility and the Automatic Remote Turn on facility available on the speaker level inputs only, makes connection to existing OEM head units a doddle! The range uses only the finest components as skimping at this stage seriously compromises final performance, quality and reliability, This is why you will only find high-spec capacitors, transformers and MOSFETs inside. 
In contrast to the deep black heat sink is a silver end panel set in at each end of the amplifier. These not only complete the visual impact but also hide wiring and controls leaving a sleek looking install with no exposed wiring or scruffy interconnects. The three amplifiers in the range are: HE 2 Class AB at 400 Watts Max, HE 4 Class AB at 800 Watts max and the HE 1D at 900 Watts max.
Don’t believe what the pedlars of inferior equipment will tell you. You really can hear the difference, even at entry level – Always insist on a demonstration no matter how much or little you plan to spend.
Prices range from just £99.99 to £199.99 and are available now from your local FOUR dealer. Visit www.fourcars.co.uk for further details or call 0845 450 1594

With the voice coil wound from revolutionary copper covered aluminium wire (CCAW) and wound on a carbon fibre former for light-weight rigidity, the Hertz Mille speakers are able to cope with all kinds of genres from classical through to banging rock music, without colouring the music in any way. A triple venting system on the back plate assembly guarantees a 30% reduction in heat build up which further improves reliability and longevity as well as improving performance well above the quoted specifications. Hertz is designed, built and delivered by Elettromedia, based in Italy. This company is so driven by a desire for excellence that not a single element is overlooked when designing a product. Hertz Mille crossovers contain hand wound coils and the finest manufactured components available and the final product is subjected to the harshest most discerning ears in the business before receiving the Elettromedia seal of approval.

FOUR MASTERS Car Clinics, great car sounds which save your ears, £’s and now lives! A network of independent specialist car audio dealers brought together by distributor FOUR, FOUR MASTERS have been delivering first rate installation techniques, expert advice and fantastic products for some years now. If you attend a mainstream modified car show you will always see FOUR MASTERS shouting loud about what they live for! Now, as well as showing and demonstrating great installations, we invite you to have your install looked at by an expert to fight back against ill-advised DIY installs out there which, seriously risk driver and passenger safety.
Our first ever FOUR MASTER Car Clinic held at the Auto Sound and Style show in March showed us just how much dangerous practice goes on when unskilled installers are let loose on a car with insufficient knowledge and equipment to carry out even the simplest of tasks. FOUR MASTER Paul Ellis, Source Sounds Sheffield said, after a very busy day; “The market entry price for powerful amps and speakers has come down rapidly, drawing a new audience of DIY installers who really just need a hand with basic safety. Today, I have seen power cables run directly from the battery of a car through holes in a bulkhead, without grommets, to a powerful amplifier in the boot with no in line fuse! When, eventually, the sharp metal of the bulkhead wears through the power cable a serious incident will happen with devastating consequences! Fortunately, those who took the opportunity to have their cars checked by us are now able to make slight but essential modifications to their installs to prevent this from happening.”
But, FOUR MASTER Car Clinic offers huge benefits even to the safety conscious. All FOUR MASTERS are trained, not only, to install safe hi-fi but also great sounding car hi-fi and those attending with complete, professionally installed systems were just as likely to go away with great expert advice on how to squeeze more power and better fidelity from their equipment.

Visit SPL Monsters at Surrey Car Radio and discover the most outrageous amplifier yet from Italian manufacturer, Hertz. As FOUR MASTER, Surrey Car Radio is well placed to advise you regarding all things bass, and full range for that matter! The product we focus on here is the MP15K Unlimited amplifier. This monstrous stereo amplifier can deliver 6100 Watts RMS in to two 1 Ohm loads or it can be bridged to drive a ball-busting 15,500 Watts RMS when powered with 18 Volts DC. Featuring no less than 20 X 190 Amp Impulse response MOSFETS in the output stage and 8 toroidal transformers in the power supply, you can guess that this isn’t built for vehicles where low weight is an overriding requirement! 
If 15,500 Watts is a bit lightweight, The MP15K comes with six robust brackets and an interconnect system called SPL stack which allows multiple amps to be stacked and bridged together offering up to 45 Kwatts. Measuring a whopping 323 X 830 X 68.5 mm and a suspension lowering 25.5 Kg in weight, the Hertz MP15K is not for the shy or the easily scared. Lo-pass and hi-pass filters help to keep all of this raw energy under control while the outputs can be configured in bridged, stereo by-pass or L+R mix mode, there is no getting away from the blatantly over the top credentials of this substantial package. However, given the pedigree of Hertz, you would expect some subtle refinement and this it delivers by way of the well balanced and musical sound, this marks the difference between the Hertz SPL Monster range and other manufacturers product which go for power alone. Don’t forget when shopping for extreme bass, distortion stifles sound. Hertz is well known for delivering low distortion power, it was obvious with the HP range of amplifiers and many of the sound design principles behind that highly successful range have been further developed to ensure that the MP15K is as musical as it is powerful as it is huge!
Take a trip to SCR today or call 01784 420563 to see this extraordinary product

You can get to see Hertz SPL Show on show at L&J Audio, Staffordshire right now. This gorgeous range of subwoofers have reinvented the category, so much so, that manufacturer Elettromedia has abandoned the word subwoofer in favour of the more descriptive “Sound Pressure Generator” to differentiate these stunning products from run-of-the-mill subwoofers.
FOUR MASTER showcase store L&J Audio specializes in bass centric products having themselves built many competition winning SPL cars. Always on the look out for bigger, better, louder and more beautiful bass products, L&J must be absolutely delighted with the Hertz SPL Show range. Consisting of Sound Pressure Generators; SX 250D, SX 300D and SX 380D (250mm, 300mm and 380mm respectively) each one capable of shaking the ground when driven with a suitable amplifier and installed with FOUR MASTER know how.
Each product features a triple stacked magnet motor assembly and dual 2 Ohm voice coils. The moving assembly is designed for linear performance over extraordinary excursion ensuring maximum air movement without distortion. A dual spider design and four layer voice coil wound on an extended aluminium former also assists with tonal accuracy at high level. With this amount of powerful movement, a great deal of design effort has gone into making the chassis as rigid as possible. The sheer forces involved required some new thinking on basket design as well as with heat dissipation. From the aluminium coil former to the vented backplate, as much effort has gone into dissipating heat as generating movement. But of course, at this level it is not only the performance that impresses but also the beautifully modelled design attributes which will lead to the visual impact of an installation utilising SPL Show – As the name suggests, they are as much for show as for another purpose.
If you like bass, a trip to L&J Audio is a must. Call on 01543 468321 to make sure they haven’t sold out!

The brand new show-stopping Hertz SPL Show SX300 stocked by FOUR MASTER, Accutek in Hampshire is well worth checking out. Designed in the Hertz tradition, this ground shaker is built to provide system builders with bundles of bass whilst looking drop-dead gorgeous. Designed for competition and extreme SPL performance, the SPL Show SX300 is described by Hertz as an “Acoustic Pressure Generator”. The SX300 is a 12″ dual 2 ohm voice coil subwoofer with an exceptionally light, four layer voice coil assembly on a 40mm aluminium former offering exceptionally rapid excursion resulting in more air movement and extreme efficiency.
The unique dual spider design ensures extreme control and linear movement of the cone even during maximum cone excursion conditions. This results in incredibly accurate and surprisingly musical reproduction of sub frequencies with very low distortion. A triple magnet assembly also aids with accuracy under high SPL conditions and the unique back vented spider support system, consisting of vertical holes which drive air directly over the voice coil ensuring effective coolong without discenible compression.
Despite the technology on board, these subs add attractive styling to any installation whether mounted cone or magnet facing outwards. Accutek has competed in UK rounds of the European Mobile Media Association’s sound-off format and are well placed to help their customers build class winning SPL or SQ systems. Coupling Accutek’s skills with this state of the art subwoofer should help propel them to the forefront of the growing number of FOUR MASTER competiton car builders.
