Hey im kinda new to car audio...I want to put a new system in my car but need more info..What is the difference between mid range speakers and full range speakers? I saw some full range speakers online and they have like tweeters attached to them.does that mean i dont have to buy tweeters and is that the best way to go?
How do you match the speakers to your amps and connect them...is it the same as subwoofers?(parralel,series) I used some subwoofer diagram calculator to figure out for subs but they dont have any for tweeters and smaller speakers...please help

Wow that's alot of really fundemental questions.

Maybe your best place to start would be a local stereo shop . . .?

Have you already purchased ur gear? What car are you installing this stuff into?

pick up a copy of THE CAR STEREO COOKBOOK by mark rumreich rather pricey at i think 40$ but to be honest it has alot of basic and advanced info in it. although it dsnt have everything it has enough to get your feet wet around 300 pgs also.
