There's two stores here locally that sell the Hertz and the Dyna's. The store that sells the Dyna's just got there room up last weekend. I heard the Hertz on the board and they sounded good. Then I heard them in one of the guys car and the tweets sounded like they may have been a little bright for my taste. I think I'm going to take a CD or my iPod and listen to something I'm more familiar with before I spend that kind of money on some music I'm not use to.

That's what I've been readying about there customer service. I've talked to Steve from DD a couple times and he is super cool but a store I read there customer service is horrible also. I've also heard DD pretty much has no warranty and every time something goes wrong its $100.

The SA-8 can only be purchased online correct? Do yall think the Hertz are better than the Dyna's? Thanks for all the replies

Hello All, I am trying to decide on the speakers to buy and who to install it also. The people I feel I trust with the install have a different selection of speakers but will install whatever I bring them. I am wanted some opinions from some knowledgeable folks that are not trying to push there products onto me. I know everyone has preferences and that is okay. I have been out of car audio since the late 90's and most of my friends just say buy Kicker. Alot of the shops around here do not have speakers to listen to so it makes it hard to pull the trigger on a purchase. I have a 2009 Ford F-150 Crew Cab with Microsoft Sync. I want to retain the Sync so I will be keeping the stock head unit. Everyone has told me that I can get away with not using a processor if I do not want and I think I will wait till I upgrade amps to do that. I currently have two 100w x 2 Phoenix Gold amps I will be using so I can get my speakers and install done now. What I can currently deciding between is: Front stage- Dynaudio Esotec 242 and Hertz Mille/MLK 165 Rear stage- At a later date maybe Sub- Digital Designs 1508 or Treo RSX 8" ( jl 8w7 will not fit) I have not heard the Treo and have not really found any reviews of them since there new. The JL will not fit under the rear seat because of the way the basket comes out without lifting the seat a couple of inches. I think I like the Dynaudio's because the tweeter seemed not as bright as the Hertz. I have been looking as later upgrading to maybe a Zapco or Audison amp. I like the Audison LRx 5.1k because if I don't run rear speakers I could run the front stage active or if I do run rear there's still enough power to run all speakers well. These amps are also high quality and over built from what I've read and I feel these amps will last me many years. I just don't know if I need to pay as much since I will not be competing. I can get a good deal on some used Diamond amps but I do not know much about them. Sorry for the long post but I wanted to give you most of the info in the first post for people who may not want to read the whole thread. I also listen to Rap, R&B, Jazz, and quite a few Podcasts on my iPod. Thanks in advance also
