Splits And 2 Way/3 Way

[daniel.b.]

im looking to buy mid/high range speakers (6-6.5 inch) in the back of my runaround car...just wondering if 2 way speakers would mix with the low range as do my current 6x9's or of splits are the way to go

Splits And 2 Way/3 Way, whats the difference?

One more way? =-p

Splits *are* the "bomb", but rarely can you install splits in the rear of a car without some fancy mounting skills.

So... Generally 3 way are better than 2 way because there are more drivers to split the frequencies up... this in mind, I hate them! The cone has to slide up the pole that holds the tweeter and mid, and I never have much luck finding 3-ways where the bass driver still sounds tight.

The rear is supposed to be for "fill", and because of the positioning in most cars, you'll probably lose any staging that might be possible with good speakers. So i'd probably just use splits without the tweeters. Just the bass driver doing full range or even just mid. The tweeters up front will do all the highs you need, I recken.

thats how you should have it set up, you will never hear the clarity you want if you put good speakers in the back... keep your good speakers, splits preferably, for up the front, then just have a decent speaker for the back that helps with volume
