Happy Easter boys an girls,
I upgraded my door speakers to hertz uno coaxles they have their own built in tweeters and when I fitted them I unplugged the oem tweeters, the car has come back from the garage and they have plugged the oem back in, will this be OK or do I need to unplug the oem ones. Don't want to strip door cards off again. Thanks

To be fair I can't really tell much difference, doesn't seem distorted just don't want to overload the system I'm sure the it won't as they ain't power full oem tweeters, the hertz speakers are good though glad I put them in.

Iirc (NB I could be wrong) the OEM tweeter is fed from the OEM main speaker so as long as you don't have that then the OEM tweeter isn't connected to anything

I thought the standard Leon speakers were pretty good,

A least compared to the standard "made in Tunisia", that were in the MK2 Golf. ......................Utter Gash.

Will be fine to have both plugged in.

That is good to know, I agree the oem speakers are fine for factory just wanted something with a little bit more umph and no subs or amps so heard these speakers and they were a nice mix of what I was after and plus one of the oem ones went down so it was a perfect time to upgrade them. Thanks for you replys

Lol well don't forget you will need the adapters and what not for aftermarket, you going coaxial or components not a massive speaker expert at all but components are better for for base aren't they, sound dead your door while your at it makes them rattles do one 😆

Don't get caught out by the need for a live aerial co-axial adapter for the roof antenna amp, if you get an aftermarket head unit.

Yeah i'm just deciding if i should get a cheap pair for £30 or splash out on something a bit more expensive.
