[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 925186, member: 555320"] Bandpassing is when you both highpass and lowpass on a speaker. You will need to do this to your mid to limit both how high and how low it plays. One thing I will warn you; When setting xover points, be very careful of your highpass crossover setting for the tweeter. It is possible to damage them by setting the xover point too low. It doesn't take much to bottom out a tweeter. You can pick up the Coustic XM6 on ebay for good prices (TheStereoDirect on ebay is an authorized Coustic outlet). Seems like Kicker and MTX both have reasonably priced units that include a bandpass filter. Both of those are great drivers. Properly setup, it should sound awesome. Depends on your budget. I'd go simple and just look for a 4-channel. Sounddomain has some killer deals on Kicker refurbs, however.
