[QUOTE="youdoofus, post: 8660179, member: 664079"] ok, so the 3 way/2 way x-over thing is where the deck uses the 6 pre-outs for front/rear/sub for 2 way and front tweeters/front mids/sub for 3 way. # way is known as "active crossovers" or more traditionally "bi-amping". Car component speakers come with tweets, mids and a passive crossover, when running 3 way (aka active x-over, active network or bi-amping) the deck will separate out the frequencies for the tweeter and mid before the amplification happens thereby eliminating the passive x-over. Sound quality is immensely better in an active setup, but you lose the rear channel. Does that help? [/QUOTE]
