Hello. I bought these affordable Magnat Edition 216 speakers to my gf's C3.
And the manual tells me to connect the tweeters to woofer (picture forced.jpg),

but it would require advanced wiring through car body - easier for me would be:
Place the woofer to front doors, connect it to front door's car adapter and leave it. Place tweeter into front dashboard, connect it to car adapter and leave the two pins on woofer empty .(see want.jpg)

Would it be problem and couldnt i damage the speakers?
Thank you very much : - )

Hi JDolinski.

The top picture is a little misleading and I can see the confusion. You 'can' connect the tweets directly to the woofers but its not mandatory. You can modify the cable and put some insulation tape over the connectors not being used.

Leaving the extra connections on the woofer speaker unconnected will no damage, they are an 'option'.

As you say, tweeters in the dash and you can pick up the wiring for them (if necessary) from behind the stereo on the same channel output as the subs (front left and front right).
