Default components vs two way/three way.....ect...

What is truely the advantage over haveing component speakers over two way's/ three way's? Is it more responsive or something? Stonger cause it's in it's own?

Also what are the risks of haveing a two way and an external tweeter all coming from the same outlet in the head unit? It seems to still do the job but the two way's are loosing a bit of power. It's just sharing the wattage right? Is it the same amount of shared wattage as a three way?Would it sound better if I take the tweets out and just let the two way's on their own?

this was covered like 4 weeks ago.
components have better crossovers giving a better smooth transition in frequencies between tweets and woofers.
engineers tend to make 2 and 3 ways with the tweeter coming out of the center of the woofer... thus having an uncomplete woofer, affecting midbass qualities.

i think having more than 1 speaker connected to each of the 4 connections of the HU is bad... it makes an ohm load most HUs aren't able to handle stably... thats what the crutchfield guy told me at least

the crossover compenent setups have the speakers each runnign at 8 ohm i believe and then run parrallel on the xover giving it a stable 4 ohm load
