I am by no means an expert but: One way would consist of one speaker playing all frequencies from signal source. Two way would be two speakers. Three way would be three. etc. Most of the time people don't consider a subwoofer adding to the "xxx-way", so someone may have a 2-way setup, but technically it's 3-way if you count the subwoofer. I'm guessing you can get better sound quality if you split the audio spectrum up and dish out each section to a speaker. example: if you have the hpf set too high for your subwoofer, it starts to sound bad, it's playing frequencies it's not designed for. So if you split the spectrum up, then you can dole it out to multiple speakers and each speaker can be designed to work well for that range. This is just my guess. Although I know if you have too many speakers then it's quite easy to destroy all imaging, and the sound will sound like it's coming from all over the place. With a component set or active setup, your free to position the speakers anywhere you see fit, anywhere that sounds best to you. passive / active Passive speakers are a set of speakers that come with an onboard/inline crossover network. ex: component sets. Active speakers use an adjustable crossover network whether it be on the amplifier, processor, or digital processor. With an active setup your able to tweak the crossover points, slopes, and likely EQ (if your setup allows for it) to make your speakers sound the best in their installation and location. An example of my "active" setup. I have 2 large format tweeters and 2 midbass/midrange drivers. This would be considered a 2-way setup. I'm using an ms8 that goes in between the headunit and amplifier. rca signal source goes from headunit to ms8, then gets split up to four rca channels (left tweeter, right tweeter, left midbass/midrange, right midbass/midrange), these four channels go to my 4channel amp (I don't use any settings on the amp except for gain). The ms8 comes with an lcd screen and remote, I'm able to plug in that I'm using two drivers per side, thus 4 channels. Then I can set the crossover points and slopes between the speakers. example: (ssf: 20hz 18db slope) SUBWOOFER SIGNAL (hpf: 70hz 18db slope) MIDBASS/MIDRANGE SIGNAL (lpf: 1200hz 18db slope) TWEETER SIGNAL Subwoofer will be playing from ~20hz - ~70hz (remember slopes are not cut off points, but attenuation) Midbass/Midrange driver ~70hz - ~1200hz Tweeter ~1200hz+

Sorry about THE seam. It sometimes is difficult for the adhesive to dry in this colder and working with other sides may have agitated that seam leading to it to separate. I can honestly say that if that had been discovered prior to packaging it wouldn't have been shipped out like that. I have never had any carpeting complaint before this. As for the structural failure of the enclosure im at a loss for words. We thoroughly glue and fasten EACH and EVERY panel on every enclosure with 2" screws. Again were sorry for your unpleasant experience.

I upgrade the big 3 on every vehicle I own with 1/0 welding cable. In my opinion, it's the best bang for the buck upgrade you can do to your electrical system period, and it is essential when installing an aftermarket stereo system.

Kinda hard to watch with this guy's facial ticks, but still damn funny! LMAO so true!

Right on, got it now. Thanks The links are very helpful and insightful! Hence the READ reply ...

If you need help with anything I can do here, let me know. I have a lot of free time.

The plastic cups are garbage (all of them), running bolts and nuts is ghetto, and I think some amplifier output stages have been trashed because of them..... Use the knock through kind in the bottom of the picture above ^^. They work the best and are worth the extra few bucks. I prefer the satin finish ones from PartsExpress. Additionally, I run a set for each woofer for wiring flexibility. The box below has 8 woofers and 8 sets of those posts.

Jesus christ.

yes if you miss it you miss it! as quantities are limited. so get on it fast and go from there! 1) a trick I did last time was load up every single item in the store 2) then i sorted though the ones i didn't care for 3) and kept pressing the refresh on the ones i did want! 4) turns out my trick worked as the IA mids were on sale hell I even added a pair to my checkout but then server issue kicked in and I was locked out, long story short I just deleted them out of my checkout o well no skin off my nose. although I am wishing I would have called in sick for work today for this deal as I know for sure I would have had the batteries in my eye the whole time! lol logically it was the next thing! and logically the next thing will be .... no i am not sharing my backwards logic with the world lol! that is for you to figure out! at any rate I am very happy everything went well and 3 people made out with what they needed! I am looking forward to the next deal and I hope it comes at the right time when I have to make my purchase for 2-d3100's! Good luck to everyone and congrats to the winners thanks Mark, and Aron for doing this yet again! and I am surprised a few people has server issues again! o and don't forget to LIKE this on your facebook and spread the word to everyone you know! o and buy a damn shirt or hat to rep SSA!!

1. They post a time frame of when the deal is supposed to happen. In this case it was from 7pm-10pm est. 2. This meaning, Somewhere in that time frame they will post 1 random item on the SSA store ANYWHERE in the SSA store at an outrageous price. In this case 109$ for XS D3400 3. It is up to the buyer to keep searching and wait until they decide to put it up. In this case the sale happened around 9pm EST, no one knew that except for them. 4. When they do put the product up, act fast! The sale only lasts a few good minutes as they won't be selling many at all for the price. In this case they sold 3 batteries for the marked down price.

Do NOT bring shit from other forums over here. You will not get another warning. This is SSA and we do not tolerate inter forum bullshit, so take it elsewhere.

Despise that site. Might as well just stay away from it.
