[QUOTE="GSteg, post: 959040, member: 543107"] A 3-way definitely does have its advantage as t3mpest pointed out. A lot of time, betting imaging can be achieved through the use of kickpanels. At the same time, a lot of 2-way system in kicks may develop unwanted resonance unless the kicks are deadened to death. This will occur in midbass freq and will tend to drown out the lower midrange a bit, giving you the illusion that clarity is not really clear. Does not apply to all cars, but will in some. As Audiolife said, if you have time to dedicate with tuning and such, a 3-way may be worth it. But you going with a 2-way setup is definitely not a bad idea. I heard a pair of iridiums 6.2 in a mid 90s mercedes c-class. The door were not deadened, and the tweeters were mounted on the dash, with a slight on-axis base. They definitely sounded great for what they were installed in. Can't really go wrong.
