    Hey man what made you choose the 3 way? Im confuse . Does the 2 way be enough? What happen to the rear door did you change it to? How did the tweeter on the dasboard compliment the overall sound? Some told me to put 2 way

    • @KoolFredsGarage
      @KoolFredsGarage 2 дні тому

      The dash tweeters are a day and night improvement I highly recommend. I had the 3 way infinity in the front but they did to have improved sound. Because it’s used as a mid bass speaker. So I move these to the rear and put full range style in the front. I have another video on that.
