I'm putting together custom door panels for my 97 Pathfinder. Since I am making them myself I will have no trouble fitting in a 3 way component set. I want a SQ system and I already have the sub for the deep bass. Question is this: Would I be better off buying a nice:
3-way component set such as the Alpine SPX-F17T (http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/caraudio/product.asp?sku=11745)
Or a 2 way set and then adding a good midbass driver such as a 6 3/4" kicker RMB6 (http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/caraudio/product.asp?sku=12138)?
Here is what I'm thinking: If I were to buy the 3-way set I think it would have to be powered by a 2 channel amp and I would lose some control because of this. However, I think I would gain some control by buying the 2 way set plus a good midbass driver and power it with a 4 channel amp because I could set the midbass as my rear speaker so I would be able to fade it in or out on my alpine head unit. Of course in option 2 I would set the x-over on the amp for midbass to ~80-275Hz and the 2 way components to 275-20khz. Let me know what you think. Thanks.
PS: I got the idea from here: http://www.peelautoradio.com/gallery1.html Sweet!
