2 way or 3 way?
Getting some infinity 6x9. Will two way be sufficient or will three way sound much better? Where I am ordering from, the 3 ways are only $10 more.

why is that? is it because two ways tend to have more bass than 3 ways?

I've heard that good 3 way speakers are harder to make, so if you're in the same price range, the 2 way speakers will perform much better. For good 3 ways you should have to pay a lot more money. Otherwise, what would be the point of getting 2 ways when 3 ways cover the same or more range, better? That's just what I've read.

3 ways. A two way, you only get woofer and a combination mid/tweeter. A three way, you get woofer, dedicated mid and dedicated tweeter. I would recommend the 3 ways for the same reason I would recommend components over coax's, better sound due to each component of the speaker(s) playing only a specified freq range.

before i start to explain i get to make something clear first so i don't feel like a dumb ***.. the 3 way i meant has a pair of tweeters, a pair mid and a pair of woofers.
in most cases you have to build a kick panel for the woofers if mid's going into the door and tweets in the dash or whatever.
you want the kick panel to be professionally done so that the sound stage is at the optimum level. make sense?
