[QUOTE="thefunkybunch, post: 3312391, member: 563903"] agreed, i guess liability was the wrong choice of words. however, many manufacturers over-rate their speakers, as where jl audio, boston, rainbow, etc etc (higher end brands) tend to under-rate them, if anything. personally, i'd rather have twice as much power as i'll ever need, than just enough to get by. and i agree that a 3way setup does need to be properly set up to sound it's best, but i'd still recommend one over a 2way setup simply because it is a better starting point. everyone has got to start learning somewhere [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] at least he'd have a solid foundation to start on, and then learn from there by experimenting with different speaker placement options to make it sound great. a qlogic set, i agree is most definitely not the best place to start with, however with it just running a midrange driver, it's nt going to lose a lot of oomph by not being sealed in the back half. it's really not making any midbass at all really, most play from about 200hz at its lowest point (with a 4" midrange, most of them with the 3" dome start considerably higher than that). and as long as it is reinforced, they'll do fine. i really don't like putting woofers in kicks because it's not IB when they're not sealed, and if they are sealed it's usually way too small to do you any good, without doing an AP membrane outside the vehicle or something, which 99.9% of the people will not do. a heavily deadened door is the easiest place to put a woofer to get good sound.
