[QUOTE="Blackout67, post: 8873562, member: 683415"] I don't see how splitting frequencies to respective speakers that they are built to be played it confusing. I'm not trying to get some crazy output from 6x4 speakers I am well aware if how power handling works. The 6x4 speakers are literally right next to my head. They are the speakers that I hear the most out of all 6 in the truck. Mid and high frequencies are directional so therefore it makes sense to have those speakers only plays those frequencies. That leaves me more power to put to my midbass. A coaxial speaker will split power between the woofer and the coaxial mounted tweeter and most woofers out there that will fit my application so not have dedicated crossovers for the midwoofer so it rolls of naturally and depending on the design of the speaker introduces cone break up issue at higher power. I am eliminating this all together by having the woofer only play ~250 hz and below because those frequencies are mostly omnidirectional to our ears. That's is my reasoning I was not asking for suggestions on which speakers to use. You're answering questions I'm not asking. I am simply wanting to know how the sound stage would be like if I had it set up this way. And while I will admit the tweeter stalk does not take up much space on the cone itself, the tweeter housing usually overhangs the cone on the woofer causing cancellation. [/QUOTE]
