Thread: Help with my system for my 2003 chevy impala?

Not even close to being correct Matt.

The 2-way and 3-way refers to the number of speakers located on the co-axial speaker. Matt is partially correct in saying that each speaker has a range, but to say that a 3-way is better than a 2-way is incorrect. The most ideal speaker is a single (1-way) speaker tha produces the full frequency range, which would be a single source speaker. These speakers are very hard to make, and would never be usable in a car, so instead, we break up the frequency range into different speakers optimized for specific frequency ranges.

Now the issue with multiple speakers, is multiple crossover pointes, which can cause noticable sound distortion, so you generally try to reduce the number of speakers to reduce crossover points, and source points. So most high end car audio systems only have 3 sets of speakers, Subs, Full- Range Woofers, and Tweeters. So you will notice as you are shopping, that there will be cheap 2-ways, then a little priceir 3-ways, and then some pretty expensive 2-way Coaxial and Component sets, these are the ones you want to go with if you are looking for a good sound.

Infinitys are nice, but wat you will want to understand about your rear speakers is that they are designed to be "rear-fill", so you arn't going to want to worry about them too much, because you honestly shouldn't be able to hear them with much clearity anyways. You will want to upgrade your front speakers however. These are the mos important speakers in the car, and upgrading them to a nice component set will definetly improve your sound quality immediatly.

If you are looking for good brands for speakers, here's a few suggestions:
Alpine Type R, X, F1
Pioneer D Series, PRS, ODR
DynaAudio
JL Audio
Morel
Rainbow Audio
Infinity Kappa, Kappa Perfect
JBL

FYI* You might want to pick up some bolt on speaker housings for your 6x9s in the back, because your subs are most likely resonating through those 6x9s and causing tons of distortion, and probably overpowering the speakers woofer.

2 way means the speaker will hit 2 different tones - low and high. 3 way speakers will hit low, medium, and high. If you're getting these for some extra bass then get 2 ways. If you want it for the best sound and sound quality get the 3 ways.

I got 2 15 inch cvx subs.... so my question is whats the best 6x9 speakers for sound and 2 or 3 way or wat ever.... i just dont want to no extra tweeters... i heard infinty gud but if there sumthin better let me no thanks.
