Best Answer

the number of speaker cones

2 way usually has a woofer and tweeter. The midrange has to be handled by the woofer so they won't sound as good as the 3 way.

3 way usually has woofer, midrange and tweeter so you get more segrated sound with each speaker reproducing what it knows how to.

4 way - not sure, probably just a more spaced out range.

2 way (and 3 way) work great in a system using a subwoofer where you have all low end (100Hz or 80Hz crossover) going to a subwoofer. then the woofer section of the 2 way works as a great midrange. Best thing you can ever do for a car stereo system - put in a subwoofer on its own amp and get all the bottom end equalized out of the other amp, so your main speakers dont' try to produce any bottem end at all. System will sound WAY better, even if you aren't turning up the sub and vibrating the car next to you, it just makes your entire system tighten up and sound better

What speakers have better sound 2way or 3way?

This is a mostly a matter of personal opinion but I find the 2 way speakers to be less "harsh" with less screeching treble. Brand name can make a big difference as well, I personally prefer JVC 2way speakers as they have excellent vocal reproduction and a very reasonable price.

Will a 100rms mini two way car subwhich doesn't need an amp to run work well with two 4 inch 3way 300w speakers and also two 6x9 400w speakers?

There MUST be some sort of amp powering the sub. An amp gives you power much like if you plug a light into a wall outlet. Hopefully there is a second 4-channel amp powering the speakers... Also, are you listing rms or max power for the 4" and 6x9" speakers? What sort of power is being run to the speakers also? Your question needs to be more specific to be able to answer it properly.
