Two way speakers have two speakers, three way have three. The third speaker in a three way system handles the middle range of sounds, typically voices. Well constructed two way systems can handle most sound, but typically don't handle the lowest tones. That's the reason for having the midrange speaker because the woofer in most three ways can't handle mid frequencies effectively and still produce the bass it is intended to. Trade off is typically having less low frequency capabilities.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Two way has two speakers in the enclosure. Tweeter for highs and larger cone/woofer for vocals/midrange/bass. Three way has a 3 or more speakers in the enclosure. Tweeter, mid, Bass. Within every speaker is a crossover which directs the frequency from the receiver and directs it to the correct speaker within the enclosure. Many people assume a 3 way will have better sound than a two way because it has dedicated speakers for lows, mid/vocals, tweeter. That is not always true especially for automotive speakers. As you get up in price point in home theater you will generally see 3 way or higher only. Your ears and budget will be the indicator. The rule of thumb is to spend twice as much on speakers as you do on a receiver, Example: a $700 dollar receiver will sound better with $1400 speakers than a $1400 receiver will sound with $700 speakers.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There are 2 separate smaller speakers inside each case which do a better job of making sounds. They separate the low and high sounds to sound better. A 3 way has 3.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.High-Mid-Range and Bass. Two way are without the mid-range and combine with a simple come. Idk if you can get two ways anymore?
