[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 4539005, member: 550915"] Ideally you want a single driver playing as much of the audio range as possible. In a two way front stage it's actually ideal to get the tweet playing as low as possible. This is especially important when using a large mid because the larger the mid, the lower the freq at which it starts to beam. You want to cut it off before the beaming freq. Also larger mids have the tendency to exhibit cone breakup in the higher freqs. If you're planning on a 3-way system, the mid should be playing as much of the range as possible. 8-10k are fairly common crossover ranges for the mid/tweet transition. You also want it to play as low as possible. Normally one goes small on the mid here and large as possible on the midbass. The limiting factor for this many times is the crossover used. Many won't allow a high enough crossover freq on the top end of the midrange which wastes the extended range of the driver. [/QUOTE]
