looking into changing the dor 6x9s to the kicker ks series. Not sure if I want 2 way or 3 way speakers? Anyone have experience with either of these. I know 2 ways are going to have more bass but how much is the difference?

ThanksGo to the Kicker web site, support section. Look at the owner's manual for the two styles of speakers. Look at the graph of the bass frequency response and the sound pressure levels at bass frequencies.

I know that 3 ways wont have as much bass but i am wondering how much less. I am planning on a sub down the road but it isnt high on my priority list.I installed the KS series 2 way 6x9's in the rear doors, and 2 of the 3.5" 2 way in the dash. Absolutely amazing difference. I don't know what the 3 way would sound like, but the 2 way were perfect.
The rear door speakers don't get much bass anyway. they are simply to fill in the sound. They are crossed over to limit the low frequency. Just do 2 way in the rear doors, leave the front doors alone, change the two corners in the dash to 2 ways, then add your amp and sub(s). If the subs start to overwhelm the system, change the roof speakers to 3/4" or 1" tweeters with bass blockers to bring it back around and balance it out a bit. Everyone's tastes are different, of course. Just my opinion to increase the sound quality without a lot of money.I know that 3 ways wont have as much bass but i am wondering how much less.

I have changed out the dash speakers to the kicker ks series 3.5 and added bass blockers. Big difference. I have seen the older 41ksc 6x9s going for a lot less and their specs look the same as the 44ksc. Guess kicker just changed out the numbers and the ks logo to red on the cone. Maybe a combo of 3 way in the front and 2 way in the back or 2 way or 3 way all around. Sub will come later.
