You can separate by frequency the full band of sounds using a crossover . In two way systems tweeters typically reproduces the highest frequency band, mid-range speaker reproduces middle frequencies and low feq. In three way systems a woofer is added to reproduce low frequencies. The subwoofer reproduce only the lowest part of the audio spectrum: typically below 120 Hz. If you have the cash for custom fabrication go for three way!

i just got my sub and amp installed at BestBuy again.
Chuck and Dan at bestbuy tried to make the ps2 slim i wanted
to install work. it worked but there was interference so it would
make my screen have those lines going through it. they said i need
some kind of ac/dc coverter thing?. they said if i got a Hitchhiker that
the problem would be solved but they stopped making them. if anyone
has any input on how to make my ps2 slim work without any interference
with my headunit will be greatly appreciated.


but all in all i love teh way my system sounds. i blasted it on full today
and my ears are pounding still lol

ohhh.
bestbuy tried to install my ps2 it worked but
my screen would have lines running threw them.
i think they said they needed a bigger inverter and
they didnt have any at the shop. they said there ordering
me a bigger inverter to see if it solves the problem.

i just got my PAC SWI-PS today along with my Ipod Connection Cable.
ill probably get those 2 installed next sunday along with them trying
to hook up my ps2

i hated looking down at my Headunit to change songs or trying to put the volume
**** up lol. now i can just use my steering wheel controls!!

the dude at best buy installed these blue leds under the driver steering wheel and the passenger side glove compartment. they turn on when my car is on and they stay on. looks really nice
