Okay so I am buying new car speakers.. I have someone to install them for me but they just said to buy them. So I have been looking for deals online and I just need to know what the difference is when it says 2 way? and 3 way? if someone could describe it to me rather than throwing me a link that would be great!
Answer
Coaxial speaker
Coaxial speakers contain two elements: a woofer, to reproduce the low notes, and a tweeter, mounted inside the woofer, for the highs.
Component System
Component systems, or separates, use a superior speaker design to give you the best possible sound. A typical separates system includes 2 woofers, 2 tweeters, and 2 external crossovers â all of which are designed to work smoothly with one another.
Generally, components are made of better materials than their two- or three-way counterparts. You can position the separate tweeters for optimal imaging. Given adequate power, separates deliver exceptional dynamics and detail.
Crossover
A network of filters, coils, and capacitors that directs specific frequency ranges to the appropriate speaker components (woofer, mid-range, and tweeter, for instance). That way, the drivers do not strain to reproduce notes out of their intended range.
Component systems and full-range speakers include passive crossovers, which are designed for the specific components and mounted between the amplifier and speakers. Active crossovers divide the frequency range before amplification, and can be adjusted to adapt to any speaker setup.
Full-range Speakers
Full-range speakers accurately reproduce your music's frequency range by mounting a tweeter inside the woofer cone. This is also known as a coaxial, or 2-way speaker. Some versions may add midranges or supertweeters to better reproduce other parts of the frequency spectrum. These are also referred to by the number of drivers (3-way, 4-way, etc.).
Midrange Speaker
A midrange speaker ranges in size from 3-1/2" to 6-3/4" and reproduces the middle frequencies. Component systems often use separate midranges, as do systems that amplify the low, midrange, and high frequencies separately. Some full-range speakers include a midrange element for better detail.
Plate Speaker
Plate speakers feature a separate round woofer and tweeter, mounted side by side on a plate that's designed to replace oval-shaped 4"x6" and 5"x7"/6"x8" speakers. Since a round woofer is more accurate than an oval one and is not encumbered with a cone-mounted tweeter, a plate speaker reproduces music more accurately than an oval speaker. However, the woofer cone on a plate speaker is smaller than a similarly-sized oval speaker, so its bass output will usually be slightly lower.
Supertweeter
A small driver dedicated to ultra-high-frequency reproduction. You can usually find supertweeters alongside tweeters in 4- or 5-way full-range speakers.
Three-way speaker
Three-way, or triaxial, speakers take the separate woofer and tweeter from a two-way design and add a midrange driver for enhanced warmth and texture. Select three-ways use a supertweeter, instead of a midrange, for extended high-frequency response. Four-ways combine a woofer, a midrange, a tweeter, and a supertweeter for even more detail.
Tweeter
A small driver dedicated to high-frequency reproduction. Cone tweeters are efficient and the most economical. Most home speakers use dome or "edge-driven" tweeters â they disperse sound over a wider area for smoother, more accurate reproduction. Semi-dome (or balanced-dome) tweeters use a combination cone and dome construction for excellent sound clarity and dispersion.
Tweeters are made from a variety of materials â paper, aluminum, titanium, or synthetic films such as polyetherimide (PEI) or Kaladex (polyethylene naphthalate). It's best to listen to a variety of tweeters to determine which one you prefer.
Two-way speaker
Two-way, or coaxial, designs reproduce your music's frequency range accurately. These speakers use a separate tweeter â mounted inside the woofer â to deliver the high-frequencies.
Woofer
The woofer, a speaker's largest cone, reproduces bass and lower midrange notes. To operate efficiently, a cone should be made of material that is stiff, yet lightweight. Cones made of aluminum, synthetic film (like polypropylene), poly mixed with other materials (like mica), or treated paper provide excellent sound, and stand up to the heat, cold, and moisture that car speakers face on a daily basis.

I want to buy this for best loudness and quality.
Answer
Logitech Pure-Fi speaker system is good, it uses a unique combination of speaker drivers to deliver clear sound with maximum bass. It has a great sound with plenty of power and digital decoders built-in! it looks good and size, wonderful price. Overall, the quality of the sound that this speaker system produces is out of this world. You wonât find a better speaker system for the same price. but if you are willing to put up with them then I donât think you will be disappointed.
