[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 8690288, member: 540940"] 2 way's have a woofer and a tweeter. SOME 3 ways have a Woofer/Mid/Tweeter. Beyond that it's just extra tweeters and marketing Voodoo because people w/o much car audio experience assume more is better -- but it's not like that at all. Especially with speakers. There are a few truths in car audio that can help you wade through the BS. 1) Cheap brands lie. Bad. 2) Max/peak power ratings are meaningless. Ignore them. 3) RMS power ratings are the important ones, but also keep #1 in mind. 4) You get what you pay for. 5) Less is often more. (ie -- a good pair of speakers, a good sub/box, adequate power almost always works better than 4+ speakers 3+ subs multiple amps etc) Nobody can really tell you what sounds good because good sound is subjective. They can tell you what's popular, or what works for them. The best way to figure out what you like is go out to a shop or two and listen to as much stuff as you can. [/QUOTE]
