Hi peoples.
Whilst the installation costs of a 3 way speaker set initially put me of, I cannot help thinking it is the next best step I can make.
So.. I thought instead of getting a relatively high end 3 way set like the focal 165KRX3, I could go for the Polyglass 165VR3. I have had Polyglass before and was very happy so I have no issues with getting them again.
However - here is the question..
Do I get a high end 2 way set like KRX2 or Dyn 242GT and install them myself or get a middle range 3 way set like the 165VR3s and get them installed pro?
Either way the splits will be run from the passive XO from a Focal FP2.150 so I have 150WRMS to play with.
For me, the polyglass are proven.. However their only shortfall was they were a tad harsh so I ended up replacing the tweeters with some old Kevlar TN42's which made a nice difference.
Also, the car is a 2004 WRX STi and I would like to put the mid and the tweeter in the kick panel.
Let me know what you all think..
Thanks,
Emille

More speaker confusion.. Middle range 3 way or high end 2 way?

if you're going to go the effort of 3-way, imo, you MUST get a set that uses a larger midbass than the standard 6.5"
something with an 8" or 9" woofer would be more my choice. or something with a high-excursion 7" like CSS or SS rev
just my opinion.

Hope they'll fit into Evo 8 doors because I'm going to be buying the Crescendo 3 ways to replace my ID XS65's, I'll be running them as 2 way until I can afford the amp upgrade/install for the full 3 way system. Its still going to be a huge improvement regardless.
