2way + 2way or 2way + 3way?

Again, the number of ways in a speaker do not necessarily make it sound better. Read again Dyohns post a couple post up.Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

3-ways don't necessarily give a more complete sound.  3-ways play the SAME frequencies as the 2-way, they just do it using more drivers.

If you need this simple:

Both 2 and 3 ways play the lows, mids, and highs. 

The only difference is that the 2-ways use 2 drivers and the 3-ways use 3. 

The high end of the frequencies produced by the woofer comes up and meets the low end of the frequencies produced by the tweeter at the crossover point in a 2-way system.  Repeat:  the frequencies meet.  How is this missing anything?  It isn't.  If it isn't missing anything than how in the world can the 3-way be "more complete?"  It isn't.

the bass is gonna about the same. Personally i would much rather have 2 ways over 3 ways. I think a car with components in the front and 2 ways in the back sound much louder and clearer than 4 3 way speakers.

actually, 3 ways speakers tend to have less bass than 2 ways, because the power output is being divided up by 3 "speakers" instead of 2... and again, the 3way better than 2way thing is usually bs, because like was said above, they usually use lower quality components in the 3 way.   I would certainly never buy a 3way 6.5 speaker for example, but would consider a 3way 6x9 on a vendor by vendor basis. nothing cracks me up more when someone starts talking about the pioneer 3 or 4 way 6x9s for example.... utter crap, but they think they are getting some premium stuff because its a 4way... bah.

sweet thanks much for the advice people'92 Mustang Gt Hatchback

So, what are you going to do? New Project: 2003 Pathfinder

currently im thinking BA FX3 3-1/2" in dash BA SL65 6-1/2" in doors BA NX87 6x8" in rear Hifonics Zeus Z4400 anyone have experience with s?? good/bad comments?? why are they so cheap??'92 Mustang Gt Hatchback

of course you will get what you pay for but what is the reason that they are so cheap?? lets take for example the boston acoustics NX67 6.5" retail from the BA website is 150 from tweeter.com it is 150 from sonicelectrnix.com it is 110 another example: the boston acoustics NX87 5x7/6x8" from BA website : 180 from tweeter.com : 180 from sonicelectrnix.com : 120 now when you are getting about 4 different items, an average of 50 less per item adds up to a great amount... but what can be the difference between the two websites who sell BA products? i understand what you mean when u say you pay for what you get... but that is for specific product lines. if it is the same product but cheaper from a different website, that comment cannot hold truth, or can it?? im just trying to figure out if s is up to something here; has anyone used them before?'92 Mustang Gt Hatchback

One website may have lower marginal costs than another. A small one man website will almost always be able to beat a small business with 25-50 employees. That said I don't think s has a very good reputation.Nik
