RCP Audio Posted April 23, 2013 Report Posted April 23, 2013 can anybody tell me if these are legit. or what i should look for if i go look at them to tell if they are or not... its a cheap price hence why im asking... http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-stereos/speakers/other/auction-585755867.htm thanks PSN: Rcp_soundz Good rule of thump is go by what fuse size is being used in these amps. The higher the more amperage it pulls, this is what I look at. I'll stick a 300 amp fuse in a potato and sell it to you for $2k. 1991 Mazda 323VERY small build thread here: http://www.stevemead...23-small-build/
RCP Audio Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Posted April 23, 2013 also this is the FIRST EVER set of hertz ive seen down here... trademe is our 'ebay' and nobody has ever sold any before. I really want them, i did a search on here and people say they are great speakers, so if they are legit ill get them. then i just need a amp to power them hah they are the equivalent of 180usd~ PSN: Rcp_soundz Good rule of thump is go by what fuse size is being used in these amps.

larrys95civic Posted April 23, 2013 Report Posted April 23, 2013 I don't recognize the packaging, it seems really cheesy compaired to how ours come in the states.

OrionStang Posted April 23, 2013 Report Posted April 23, 2013 Im not real familiar with the ESK line. It would be kinda hard to tell anyway since there are no closeup pics. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
OrionStang Posted April 23, 2013 Report Posted April 23, 2013 I don't recognize the packaging, it seems really cheesy compaired to how ours come in the states. I was about to say that, too. Hertz come in hard, formed cardboard, not styrofoam. Like I said though, not 100% sure if that's the case with ESKs. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
audiofanaticz Posted April 23, 2013 Report Posted April 23, 2013 They are fakes. Look at the picture of the box at the tweeter grilles, see how they are round holes? Now here is the same tweeters being sold by woofersetc.comWhile there are no authorized internet dealers of hertz, woofersetc WILL NOT sell fake gear, they are a legit company. So here are the tweeter grilles of the real speakers, notice the holes in the grille are much larger, and octagon shaped, not round. Maybe ask for more detailed picture of the tweeters and mids from the seller of that auction, but from what I recall in Rays thread (which now has inactive links) they are fakes from what I remember.
RCP Audio Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Posted April 23, 2013 Ive asked him to give me a text as hes local so ill go out and have a look at em and get some pictures anything else that could prove their fake? or is that enough to make me not buy them?

audiofanaticz Posted April 23, 2013 Report Posted April 23, 2013 That alone proves they are fake, they dont just change to a cheaper stamped grille like that. If thats not enough proof they are fake for you, goto hertz website, look at all model components. Mille, Hi-Energy, Energy, Dieci, all speakers that use a metal grille is octagon shaped holes, not round, tho these are older models so they will not be exact. The same octagon pattern also goes for the mesh on the crossovers, and was one of the main and easiest ways to tell if they are real or fake.. Also might just add that on other forums people that have used the fakes, and got scammed thinking they where real said they sound like some crappy Pyle grade speakers.Also to go with what someone else said before about the packaging being in Styrofoam, shows they are wrong they are packed in cardboard like orionstang said... More proof since your still in disbelief bro.......
