    Are 2-way or 3-way speaker sets better?

    Buying the right speakers is not always easy. Which set is better, the 2-way or the 3-way speaker set? The difference is the number of speakers. The frequency range for 3-way speaker sets is determined by high, mid and woofer while two-way speakers only contain a tweeter and a woofer, which also has to reproduce bass. The 2-way speakers are not very complex to install. Logically, 2-way sets have fewer speakers, so low tones cannot always be transmitted intensively. These should therefore definitely be supported by a subwoofer. According to experts, it is not only the number of membranes that matters, but also the interaction of the membranes and housing . Many people find the sound of the 2-way sets more pleasant, as only two frequency ranges are active and ensure that the sound is more harmonious. In 2-way speaker sets, the tweeter the high frequency range, the woofer is responsible for the low frequencies and ensures the unsurpassed sound. The speaker sets generally consist of two tweeters each, crossovers (if it is a so-called passive speaker set), woofers and midrange speakers With 3-way sets, however, you get a pair of tweeters, midrange speakers and woofers. Optionally with or without a crossover. These sets are often used in very complex installations in order to achieve maximum sound performance in the car.

    What should be considered when purchasing?

    As already mentioned, the 6.5 speaker set is the most common.The diameter of the speakers is fundamentally crucial because the components must be able to be installed in the original installation positions with little or only slight adjustments in order to maintain the interior appearance of the vehicle.
