Thanks for the links, but thats a lot to read through XD

Isnt a coaxial speaker a 2 way or 3 way speaker? like is it a speaker with a tweeter and/or a midrange speaker built in to it?

And isnt a component speaker a speaker without a tweeter, etc? like a 1 way speaker?

I suggest you start reading. :)
You have a lot to learn if you want to be knowledgable in any field of audio. All that and much, much more.

A coaxial is a midrange with a tweeter or cluster of tweeters mounted on it. The nice thing about coaxials is that you have minimal difference between path lengths of drivers. But due to the tweeter being mounted on the midrange, you'll probably want to mount them more on-axis.

Components (or seperates) are multiple drivers that do not mount on each other. These usually include a crossover, where the coaxials have basic on-board crossovers.

I know its alot of reading. Thats why I posted it.

The sites I linked you to, will help you develop a grasp of electronics, and car audio in general. That way you can answer alot of your own questions, and hit us up when something hard comes along, that you don't fully understand.

Basically what Jeremy is saying is that you'll learn a whole lot more by reading and teaching yourself than you will asking every little question on here. I've barely been involved in car audio for 2 years now and I know things now that I didn't even know existed then. Be proactive.

Yeah proactive, thats the word I was looking for.
