HERTZ HRC 02

The Hertz HRC 02 is a wired remote subwoofer level control for compatible car-audio amplifiers. It lets the driver make quick bass-level adjustments from the listening position without changing the amplifier's main setup. This is useful when music recordings, passenger preferences, or driving conditions call for a different subwoofer output level.

Its adjustment range is -20 dB to +6 dB, giving the user a broad range for reducing or increasing the subwoofer level. The control is intended to tailor bass balance rather than replace proper amplifier gain, crossover, and system tuning. It is a practical addition for systems where the subwoofer output needs convenient day-to-day adjustment.

The HRC 02 uses a Molex connector for its connection to a compatible amplifier. This dedicated connection format helps provide a secure remote-control link when used with an amplifier designed to accept it. Compatibility should be confirmed before purchase, since the remote is not a universal line-level controller.

Hertz supplies mounting accessories that support tape surface mounting, screw surface mounting, and recessed mounting. These options allow the control to be placed on a dash panel, console, trim location, or another accessible area. The compact layout helps it integrate into an installation without requiring a large mounting footprint.

The HRC 02 fits naturally into a Hertz amplifier system that supports remote subwoofer level control, including listed Venezia and DP models. It can also be used only where an amplifier has the required Molex remote-volume connection. For a complete installation, connect the supplied remote cable between the HRC 02 and the compatible amplifier, then choose the mounting method that suits the vehicle.

Design & Installation

The HRC 02 has a black finish and a compact control format designed for accessible in-cabin placement. Its Molex connector is intended for a secure connection with compatible equipment. Top-mount and recessed-mount configurations provide flexibility for visible or more integrated installations.

Before installation, verify that the amplifier includes a Molex connector for subwoofer remote volume control. Route the HRC 02 cable safely from the selected mounting position to the amplifier, avoiding moving parts and areas that could pinch the cable. Use tape or screws for surface mounting, or prepare a suitable panel opening for recessed mounting according to the published dimensions.
