[QUOTE="alphakenny1, post: 1388502, member: 561605"] is a midrange absolutely needed, nope. but for people who are anal about their SQ, then yes. i mean trust me, there are tons of people who just use the woofer and the tweeter and sound great. i think for your application, i'd just stick to a 2way setup for now because it seems like you are kinda new to this stuff start simple first. once you start learning more then maybe you can go with a 3 way frontstage. i mean i myself don't feel ready to run a 3way frontstage yet. there is lots of tuning to be done with a 3way frontstage especially when its an active setup. as for the frequency gaps nope you shouldn't have any. i mean i have my mids run up to 1.25khz and my tweets are highpassed at 3.15khz. i do have a gap, but it sounds pretty good. hopefully that will change soon when i buy my new Seas CA18RLY mids, which can be ran up to around 2.5khz or so. from what i've read (no experience) but the seas lotus reference tweets can be crossed down to ~2khz or so and i'm sure the mid can be lowpassed around there as well. you shouldn't have a problem. TRUST ME, i heard a set of just the woofer and tweets and it sounded so smooth and warm and fuzzy. it was great! [/QUOTE]
