[QUOTE="Mommy Wagon, post: 7741589, member: 641740"] My brother just put a set of matching 6 1/2" Alpine components in his car front/rear, they are excessively bright at high volume. Then the same thing as my last set of DDDrive's - missing mid bass. There is a noticeable gap between the sub and components. I do hear this more often than not on aftermarket components, missing midrange or missing midbass. Let's say hypothetically I went to a 2-way component system - this is a huge stage that will have many off axis gaps, hence my reasoning for a 3-way, this could mitigate some of the dead space and transition the sound. For planing purposes, I will be putting all components in the doors and not reflecting anything off of the windshield. This would also leave a massive gap between the midbass and tweeter in a 2-way system. This is my preference, as sound control is difficult off of a windshield, and I really don't like the location of the factory Bose tweeters anyway. I guess im not completely opposed to a 2-way for a front stage, I have had many before; I would just want something that's pretty phenomenal and have a matching coaxial still for the rear doors. What manufacturers have excellent off axis listening nowadays? For the coaxials in the rear doors, these can be a 2-way for sure. I only would prefer them to be the same manufacture and same series.
