[QUOTE="64FJ40, post: 872976, member: 16057"] Were you happy with what you had? If so, there's really no reason to spend a lot of money on high-end stuff that sounds the same at 60mph on 33" mudders. Like Matt said, definitely make sure you get poly cones because paper cones sound like crap really quick in a topless rig even without direct rain contact. For a 4" speaker, a "2-way" will have the main 4" speaker and a smaller (like 1") tweeter. A "3-way", as fun as it sounds, really isn't going to be much of an improvement in a speaker this size IMO. It will have 2 (probably different sized) tweeters instead of 1, but IMO the extra clarity is wasted on a rig with loud tires and especially one that goes topless. Rather than spending extra money on tweeters, I'd allocate it toward all the power handling you can afford. Even when you're only pushing 50W, speakers that are 'rated' for 200W sound better than those that are rated for 100W. Personally I'm not a big fan of Pioneer stuff in general, but their speakers are fine. I'd look into other brands (Boston Acoustics makes nice stuff in that size range), but it's your rig so do what you want. Eric [/QUOTE]
