Hertz C 26 OE

Hertz C 26 OE | Cento Series 1" Component Tweeters

The Hertz C 26 OE (MFR #: C 26 OE) is a specialized high-performance tweeter set from the Cento series, specifically engineered for OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) integration. Unlike standard aftermarket tweeters that require custom modification, the C 26 OE features a optimized geometry designed to maximize acoustic performance when tucked away in factory locations. With its Tetolon® fiber dome and advanced motor structure, it delivers a natural, detailed sound that transforms standard factory audio systems into a high-fidelity experience.

Product Highlights

Tetolon® Fiber Dome: These 26 mm (1 in.) tweeters utilize a soft Tetolon® fiber diaphragm paired with a 20 mm (0.8 in.) voice coil. This combination provides an exceptionally natural timbre and a smooth, progressive roll-off, ensuring that musical nuances are reproduced with accuracy and without the harshness often found in metallic domes.

FEM Optimized Geometry: The faceplate and internal structure are refined using Finite Element Method (FEM) modeling. This advanced engineering technique optimizes the tweeter's dispersion characteristics for OEM placement, ensuring a linear frequency response even when the speakers are mounted off-axis or behind factory grilles.

High-Energy Neodymium Magnet: A high-density neodymium magnet provides the magnetic flux required for precise control and rapid response. This results in superior handling of high-energy dynamic transients, keeping the audio crisp and clear even during complex musical passages.

Seamless OEM Integration: Everything about the C 26 OE is built for a "stealth" upgrade. The included in-line crossovers are integrated directly into the cables to save space, making them a true plug-and-play solution for dashboards, pillars, or door sails where space is at a premium.

Key Features

6 dB/Octave High-Pass Filters: The system includes ultra-compact, dedicated in-line crossover networks. These filters protect the tweeters by blocking low frequencies while maintaining a compact profile that fits easily inside factory wiring channels.

High Sensitivity Design: With a sensitivity rating of 92 dB, these tweeters are highly efficient. They can provide a significant boost in volume and clarity even when powered by a low-output factory head unit.

Extended Frequency Range: While many factory tweeters struggle above 15 kHz, the C 26 OE extends smoothly up to 22.5 kHz, adding a sense of air and detail to your favorite tracks.

Broad Installation Accessories: Hertz includes a wide range of mounting accessories in the box, ensuring compatibility with the diverse mounting brackets found in modern vehicle interiors.
