Default Two ways vs. three ways (speakers)



I don't know much about car audio but I would like to upgrade my system
just a bit. I have congenital hearing loss and I don't hear midrange very
well, it sounds muddy. So I want to upgrade my factory speakers (Ford
F150) to either 2 ways or 3 ways to emphasize the higher and lower
frequencies a bit. What are the pros/cons of 2 ways vs. 3 ways?

Who are some recommended online sources for receivers, amps, etc. ?

That is an interesting question, because I have never been very fond of 3 way
speakers for exactly this reason - they tend to emphasize the upper midrange too
much. They will only cost slightly more, all else being equal. I would not
normally recommend them (in general - unless the speakers just happened to be
excellent and just happened to be 3 way.) But in your case, I'd definitely
recommend 3 way speakers.


Crutchfield is a good start - they have good guides for fitting specific cars.
