[QUOTE="hoss, post: 3529537, member: 549860"] think about it as multi-tasking. in multi driver speakers/setups (what you hear as "way", ie "3 way" has 3 drivers, "4way" 4 drivers, etc.) each driver is assigned to a specific range of sound. for example, in a "3 way" speaker, you would have 3 different drivers, one for lower frequencies (say 70-250Hz), one for the middle (250-1300Hz), and one for the high end (1300Hz on up). the more drivers the speaker has, the smaller bandwidth it has to play, and can concentrate on the range of frequencies that it does best. so with fewer drivers, it is doing more multi-tasking. with more drivers, less multi tasking. however, multi-tasking is not always a bad thing... more often than not the drivers are designed to work in specific frequency ranges, so adding more drivers is completly un-necesary. so no, a 6 way speaker is not necisarily going to be better than a 3 way speaker [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] . as long as the 3 way is properly designed.
