If that is the case would it be a good idea to fit mains as components & use Harmon Kardon tweeters ? I do like the idea of the tweeters making it look OE.

So, Component speakers. What make, & how much (funds are very tight).

If I use component speakers do I have to start modifying fittings. I cant do that. Anything I do has got to be more or less plug & play !

Thanks for all the replies.

PS I've realised this should be in ICE . Sorry, I expect it to be moved.

You will however have to take the door cards off to fit these ( as you will if you fit the HK system as well ) so not quite plug and play whichever route you go down.
Most component speakers come with a crossover that will need to be installed in the door card as well.
What you have is basically the speaker wires from the head unit ( already in situ) connect to the crossover first then the crossover feeds the bass /mids and tweeters ( wire is already there ) separately.
The speakers can mount straight into the existing door pods if you want to keep installation simple.
Then it's switch on, test and finally replace door cards
