Thread: Best Kind of Speaker?

So after a terrible experience with Best Buy employees that were no help at all, I'm wondering what is the best kind of door speaker, 2-way, 3-way, or 4-way? I kinda understand the difference but not really so if someone could explain that too it would be great. Just inquiring so I can start pricing out my replacement door speakers. Thanks in advance!

IMO I like 3 ways. You get your highs. Your mids. And your lows. All rolled into one. I don't think I've ever purchased anything else lol.

Thats what I was thinking was the best, but then what does the 4-way speaker offer that the 3-way doesn't? Anyways, the 3-way Pioneer door speakers that would fit in my truck are on sale for like $40 a pair, not including the adapters and wiring harnesses, and I think the head unit I want is on sale for $100 too.

And what do you think with just the speakers Joe, great sound? I'm not planning on a sub or amps, so will I still have good sound? At least better than my stock setup with 2 blown rear speakers and no bass? Lmao.

Dude that's all I had in my 03 pioneer 250w 3 way speakers. Powered by my 40x4 head unit. They sounded great. And I mean great. I payed about the same on amazon. Got em in three days.

Sweet deal, I don't have extra space for a sub or amp lol so this'll be nice. Since the dumb@$$es at Best Buy couldn't help, what am I looking at to hook it all up. I know I need an adapter and wiring harness for the head unit, but what about the speakers? Same thing, adapter/harness, or just unplug the old and plug in the new?

Speakers should jut need new ends witch they may provide.

Yeah, a mechanical engineer, not an electrical engineer lol. And so possibly a little splicing/soldering for the speakers then? Not too bad, hopefully when I get them, the geniuses at Best Buy can help me find the right stuff. Only reason I want to get it there is because it's on sale and I have a bunch of gift cards there.

Wiring harness from what ever radio (kenwood. Pioneer...) to ford truck and a installation kit. And you'll b good. Shrink tube. You'll b fine. Either or not rocket science. Have full faith in ya!

It'll be Pioneer for sure, both head unit and speakers. Great price and great quality. And shrink tube? What is that? Lol

Goes around the wire after u soder it and u hear it up. It shrinks and forms a cover over ur soder joint
