Which is better 2 way or 3 way Component set? 

This is a first time in many that I ran 3-way, and I’m never going back to 2-way

one possible drawback of going to a 3 way front stage is that you are adding a x-over in the mid-range, where our ears are most sensitive. no free lunch. sometimes in SQ less is more...

In my decades of experience I've found it's typically the vehicle that will determine if you should run a 2 way or 3 way front stage. Each have their pros and cons. Two way setups are cheaper and easier to install and can sound amazing if the speaker locations and angles are good. Sometimes you really need a small mid to fill in the gap if your large mid can not play high enough. Sometimes the large mid might be mounted too low or angled downward and you can't hear its upper range. Let's say your only hearing its output up to 700Hz. Your tweeter might be able to play down to 3k or 4k Hz. So you have a gap in the frequency response. A small mid is needed to fill that gap. Some vehicles will not have a mounting space for the small mid. It's great if you do, but if you don't, you may have to do a lot of fabrication to mount it.

Really appreciate you man. Visual+auditory information as presented in this video goes such a long way in transferring your message across. I don't get why don't more people do it. It so much easier to understand when it is actually shown to you in practice, as opposed to just theoretical information. Cheers man!

ive always used two way. simple and easy and inexpensive!

My setup is technically a 2way but my tweeters also play midrange and I have a pair of 6.5” in the doors and two subs in the trunk sealed Having replaced an actual tweeter and went to wide band allowed me to bring all those critical midrange frequencies to the dash in stead of being so lossy in the doors. Stereo integrity makes a fantastic midrange/wide band driver and hybrid audio Legatias L2SE are what I’m running. L

That was an epic demonstration. Good job sir. I love data and the break down of it.

Hi there, pls i want you to help me kill the bass from my 4” voice system speaker using filters🤦🏽‍♂️

a good set of 2 ways should play from 80 to 15K (or lower - to blend w/ the sub) i imagine that the only good a 3.5" mid would do is raise the soundstage.. depending on where they're placed. so i think that if your 6.5's are playing from 80hZ to 2000hZ, and the 3.5's are playing 2000 to 6000hZ, the tweets pick up 6000 to 15,000. the problem i see is in a 2 way the tweeter REALLY needs to be within 6 inches of the big driver. most if not all vehicles do not allow for this.. so coax in a low door ends up sounding more refined than a 2 way with too much separation. that's bonus #2 for a 3.5" right in the middle somewhere... what do you think, fellas?

Before i switched over to SQ ... i really never paid any attention to speakers as much... i wpuld usually run a 2 way passive and call it a day...but when i switched over to SQ, it was the best thing i could of done, especially if i consider myself a music lover..an active 2 way was great but an active 3 way has blown me away on how great it sounds .. i cant believe i waisted so many years running passive when an active 3 way and precision tuning will have you sitting in your drive way listening to Fleetwood Mac like its a live band

Great demonstration. Hopefully people learning find this video.

I want to go 3 way active but I’m not sure which way to go. I do want some Sylvester’s or Arnold’s 6.5s. Right now I’m running 2 ways meso ct sounds. I did get a suggestion to look into some silver flutes

If you are adding a crossover to your system, would you still need the crossovers that are included in the component set?

Great example!!

i have the same 3 ways - The midrange speakers ,currently only on 2 way due to needing pillars....is it preferred to point the midranges to the ceiling of the car above the front seats or dashboard hitting the front glass? I seen direct to ear and between pillars facing each other...
