[QUOTE="MiniVanMan, post: 3034249, member: 573252"] First that's a tiny amount of bandwidth you're asking the midrange driver to play. I'm a bit confused about that. One of the benefits of a 3-way is to dedicated one driver to the frequencies most prominent to human hearing. That's about 250 hz to about 4-5khz. To have 2 crossover points right in the middle of that bandwidth is pretty counterproductive. That's especially true in a car where mounting locations can have as much impact on how a driver sounds as crossover points, and power supplied. However, a driver that will integrate very well into any CDT makes is this.

The same is true with the Legatia somebody mentioned. I think you'd be just as well off just building a 2-way with a crossover point of 2.5 khz than complicating it with another driver, and crossover at 500 hz as well.
