2-3 way is nice... what I think it means is your mid range, high range and lows

no need for 4 and 5 ways, dont really even need a 3 way
a 2 way is plenty good for stuff, only way i would get a 3-way is in high end component speakers, just go for a nice 2 way coax or 2 way component set, amp them better sound

Three-way, or triaxial, speakers take the separate woofer and tweeter from a two-way design and add a midrange driver for enhanced warmth and texture. Select three-ways use a supertweeter, instead of a midrange, for extended high frequency response. Four-ways combine a woofer, a midrange, a tweeter, and a supertweeter for even more detail.

ill let you know dude. where do you work? i work down in northstar mall

the highest i go would be a 3 way. Just for the fact you have you highs,mids,and lows. Basically all you need in a system. Add some components and thats 100 times better. As of now im running 2 way tho. All on personal preference
