[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8154580, member: 576029"] ^that's a good point. I recommend having the crossover located back by the amp(s) which means running 3 pairs of speaker wire to each door. that way you have flexibility with wiring options for the component. ideally, you would have separate channels for the woofer and mid/tweet combo. midbass woofers usually demand more power for sufficient output to blend with the substage while mid/tweet are more efficient and need less power. crossovers can let you attenuate, but that's wasted power. given the locations and aiming, the passives can be just fine to use for all 3. best is to experiment once everything is installed. build-in flexibility with wiring and connections, when possible. a single multi-channel amp can work great and simplify the system and sometimes save money compared to two amps. if that allows you get a 3-way, go for it. I agree that rear passengers will hear the front speakers just fine. besides, having one coax next to your hip or head isn't enjoyable for anyone. [/QUOTE]
