What is the difference between 2 way and 4 way speakers?

Answer

Within a speaker different drivers handle different frequency ranges. A two way speaker has different drivers handling two frequency ranges; in this case a woofer for the low freqs and a tweeter for the high freqs. A 3 way speaker also has a midrange to handle the middle frequencies.
