Hertz CX 100
Coaxial speakers are a genuine engineering challenge — they must perform well in OEM positions that are rarely acoustically ideal. The Cento CX 100 addresses this with a 24 mm Tetolon® dome tweeter, which delivers a more musical and detailed sound than conventional plastic-dome designs. Dispersion is optimised for off-axis listening, and the SPP-M (Semi Pressed Paper-Mica) cone provides a strong balance of lightness and damping. If you need a larger coaxial option, the Hertz Dieci DCX 165.3 offers a 6.5 inch two-way coaxial alternative.
- Soft Tetolon® fibre 24 mm (0.9 in.) dome tweeter cooled with ferrofluid, for extended and natural high frequencies.
- RHFC™ (Rotary High Frequency Contour) tweeter angled and directable to the listener for a perfect frequency response in any installation.
- Tweeter faceplate geometry optimised with FEM simulations (Finite Element Modelling) for a linear frequency response in off-axis installations.
- 25 mm (1 in.) woofer voice coil with aluminium former for high excursion and power handling.
- 100 mm (4 in.) SPP-M cone enhanced with Mica powder for an excellent balance between lightness and damping.
- High-density flux ferrite magnet with low-carbon polar plates for reduced distortion at high power levels.
- Compact three-spoke basket acoustically combined with a rubber magnet cover for damping of spurious vibrations.
- Optional grille: high-resistance ABS plastic structure with metallic finish and protective metal mesh.

About the Hertz CX 100

Hertz Cento series 4 inch coaxial pair, with the tweeter in the centre of the woofer, rated at 40w RMS.

Drivers replacing tired factory speakers who want a clear improvement without complication.
Our tech experts advise
Sizes, adapter rings and harnesses vary by vehicle, year and trim, so we confirm what your car takes before ordering rather than guessing. Door treatment matters as much as the speaker itself, and an amplifier will get far more out of these than a head unit can. Installation is priced per vehicle, so get in touch with your make, model and year and we will confirm what it needs. See car audio installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will these speakers fit my car?
A: Most car speakers are standard sizes, but mounting depth and fitting rings vary by vehicle. Check the size in the Specification tab against your vehicle, or contact CEN with your registration and we will confirm fitment and any adapters or fitting kits you need.
Q: Do I need an amplifier to run these speakers?
A: Not always. Most speakers will run from a standard head unit, but a dedicated amplifier lets them perform at their best, particularly for component sets and higher power handling models. The RMS figure in the Specification tab is the guide to how much clean power they can use.
Q: What is the difference between coaxial and component speakers?
A: Coaxial speakers combine the tweeter and woofer in one unit for a simple like-for-like upgrade. Component sets separate the tweeter and woofer with a crossover for better imaging and detail, and suit installs where sound quality is the priority.
Q: Do these come as a pair?
A: Unless stated otherwise, car speakers are sold in pairs. Check the product title and What's Included tab, which lists exactly what is in the box.
Q: Can CEN fit these speakers for me?
A: Yes. CEN offers professional installation from our Nottingham premises. Contact us to book an installation slot or ask for a fitting quote.
Q: What size are the Hertz Cento CX 100 speakers?
A: They are 100 mm (4 inch) two-way coaxial speakers, a common size for dashboards and some front doors.
Q: Are grilles included with the CX 100?
A: No. Hertz offers a grille with an ABS plastic frame, metallic finish and protective metal mesh as an optional extra.
Q: Can the CX 100 tweeter be angled?
A: Yes. The RHFC (Rotary High Frequency Contour) tweeter can be angled towards the listener for a more even frequency response in off-axis installations.
