Here are some interesting facts !
Hertz has been around since 1998 - so they aren't exactly new.
Many car audio shops and brands have come and gone in that time frame !!
Without any North American dealers, Hertz was and is already a very successful brand in the rest of the world.
If they never sold to any North American car audio shops, they would still be very successful.
The company that makes Hertz is Elettromedia. They also make Audison amplifiers, Connection Cable and they are the Italian distributors for Focal, Optima and AudioControl too. They ONLY cater to Specialty Independant Car Audio shops.
In 2003-2004 the Hertz "Space" speakers earned the EISA Speaker of the Year Award. EISA is a world renowned voting panel which takes 51 of the top Car Audio magazines and polls them on the best in several car audio categories.
So they beat out Focal, DLS, and all other competitive brands for the top honors.
If anyone questions the quality and performance of the Hertz speakers - I would love to give them an un-edited list of the current Hertz dealers in Canada - and you can ask them if they think that Hertz is another me too brand.
All of our dealers who have taken on this speaker line have had substantial increases in their speaker business this year - and our competition have taken notice.
This was only the first year that Trends has had this product line - imagine were it will be in another year or two.
When we saw the potential that this line has and will continue to have - we knew it was a winner !!
The rest of the world already knows how good this product is, it's us North American guys that are just beginning to find out.

since 98, ummmm....so have lots of companies, this doesnt make the stuff any good
many shops and lines have come and gone in that time you say, ummmmmmmmm so
hertz is sucessful around the world and is just breaking into the n. american market, ummmmm....this still doesnt make it any good
they are owned by electromedia, specialty retailers only, blah blah blah, ummmmmm, still doesnt make it any good
herts won an award in 2003/2004, ummmmm, the chysler k-car won car of the year in 1986 and we all know how good that car was
they beat out focal, dls etc, again i refer to the k-car
you give me a list of happy hertz dealers and i'll get you a list of happy audiobahn dealers. point being they are both happy becuase they have it at least semi exclusively and make good cake on it, regardless of how good it is or isnt. if the product wasnt as amazing as you seem to think it is and they still made huge cake on it, they would still have smiles on their faces
1st year trends had the product and can you imagine 1 or 2 years down the road. ummmmm, not really getting where you are going with this statement but it seem like you are saying that the product is going to be better off because of trends, i guess we will see. with winners like lief out there how could it fail, btw i like trends and enjoyed dealing with them for the better part of a decade
you saw the potential in hertz and that is great, it still doesnt make it any good
hertz may very well be good. the ones i listened too didnt blow me away and make me wonder how i ever lived without it, but evey product has its good and bad.

Hey.........if Alpine had never brought out F#1 Status....I bet you'd still have a stereo in your car, and you would still think it was bitchin' !!
And I bet you would still be blown away........because until you know better.......you just don't know.
And the last time I checked.......most dealers are out there to make money !!!!!!!! Not to make the world a better place by selling the most amazing car stereo systems on the planet for no profit.
Whats wrong with making huge profit........I know you didn't work for FREE this year and give the AVI stuff that you sold for 12-years away at cost......and you probably had it semi-exclusive......you probably make huge cake on all the F#1 deals that you do....and thats awseome !! You should be making lots of profit on ALL the products that you sell.
And that was my point........this line gives the dealer a huge potential to make lots of profit.....it is being marketed well by both Trends and our Specialty Car Audio dealers. It is only going to be sold to the guys who know how to make good margin........otherwise whats the point !!
And your'e right........just because we think it's great doesn't make it good.....but, just because you think it isn't great......doesn't mean that it's bad either.
You have your'e opinion....and your'e entitled to it !!
I personally didn't like AVI - I thought they were bright (even with the crossover attenuation set all the way down).
Doesn't mean that they were crap......just my opinion .....hmmmmmm, does that mean I think you sold crap for 12 years ???? No !!
You sold a brand that made you good profit for 12-years......you did a bang up job of promoting it.........and it was successful !!
No-one is in this industry is going to set the world on fire with the most amazing car stereo system ever......!!
I started selling 15-years ago.......not because I wanted to be a salesman.......but, because I could make more money than I did as Journeyman Draftsman.
The fact that I enjoyed selling car stereo equipment was a bonus !! But if it the end of the day I wasn't making good dough.......I wouldn't be doing it....and neither would you !!
As far as Elettromedia making the product and that not making it good.......what do they make that isn't good ???
AUDISON...............yeah, it's okay product !!
(yeah right !!)
CONNECTION CABLE .......yeah, it's okay....if you like the most bitchin' car audio cable that ever existed !!
HERTZ............yeah, it might be okay.....if it wasn't built by the guys that actually own the company and not made some $1 a day earning dude in China. It might be okay........if it wasn't so damn good.....and continue to be getting better all the time !!
What does make a product good........??
Good engineering.........they have it !!
Good manufacturing facilities and quality control.......they have it !!
Good marketing....they have that too !!
Good representation and distribution.....they have that !!
Good dealers that know how to make profit....they have that too !!
We just thought you might want to take a good look at possibly the next great product to hit North America and make some money with it .....thats all !!
BLAH !! BLAH !! BLAH !! Now I forgot what I was saying............time for a Crown and Coke......oh its only 8:05am......oh well !!
After that, I'm getting ready to go make the world a better place by selling some great car audio gear !!
..................as long as I'm gettin' paid !!
OK Maybe.........just one more Crown ?????????

i think that you have totally missed the point grant. hertz is a good product but you seem to think that its some sort of revolutionary product, it isnt, neither is f#1, or avi or focal or whatever
let me ask you this, what makes it any better for "us" than, dls, or dynaudio, or focal or morel or macrom, how about i tell you, absolutely nothing, do you know why, because "we" dont need trends, electromedia, you or anyone else to sell the stuff and be profitable. i sold avi for years with the worst representation and distribution in the history of all makind. we created our market without any marketing and very little support and made a sh!tload of dough doing it. our market is what we created for ourselves and that what we will do in the future
are you really making the world a better place by selling hertz [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img]
i never said that electromidia makes a bad product, they make audison, great product for sure and i dont think many would argue it. connection wire, buddy, its wire an no better that streetwires or phoenix and i bet its made by someone in china making a dollar a day
good marketing or marketeering, big difference, think audiobahn
there is nothing wrong with making huge profit, in fact it is what makes me get out of bed every morning, and im pretty sure that i didnt say i wasnt interested in making profit
the more i think about, the more i think we made the right decision with our new line. this whole hertz stuff seems to be pretty complicated with all the awards and parent companies, and wire and orange paint and propoganda and stuff, im dizzy just thinking about it. there is no doubt in my mind that you think your are doing your dealers a good service by selling them hertz, there is also no question that you have memorized the lit [img]tongue.gif[/img]
