【Micro Precision 3.16＋5.8 Wide Range Separate 3-Way Speakers | Making OEM Audio Sound More 3-Dimensional】

You may want a bit more body to the sound from your OEM speakers, want the vocals to feel closer, or want to increase the soundstage and the amount of information. If so, you should consider this separate 3-way configuration based on the Micro Precision 3-Series.

With a tight, responsive low end from the 16.5cm woofer, a smooth and extended high end from the silk dome tweeter—and by adding the 5.8 Wide Range 8cm midrange—you get a more natural connection from the lower midrange up through the upper midrange.

The 3-Series is already high in completion even as a 2-way setup, but converting it to 3-way makes the expressions of vocals and acoustic instruments easier to hear in finer detail, and also adds thickness to the sound layers. This is a configuration where you can more easily notice differences—not only when you turn up the volume, but also when you listen to your usual songs at everyday volume levels, with changes in the location of the vocals and how instruments resonate.

The 5.8 Wide Range is a midrange unit designed to cover a wide frequency range from 150Hz to 20kHz, and its shallow design also makes it easier to consider installation methods. However, 3-way is not something that is finished simply by adding speakers. The overall impression will change significantly depending on the mounting position, treatment on the door side, the baffle, and the settings of the DSP or active crossover.

If I were doing this, I would first confirm the vehicle’s OEM system and available installation space, the type of music you normally listen to, and your sound preferences—then decide on the configuration. Even with the same speakers, where and how they are installed, and how they are adjusted, will change how they sound.

This is a combination suited for those who want to deepen the sound of the Micro Precision 3-Series one more step, or for those considering an upgrade from 2-way to 3-way. Let’s go over a reasonable configuration together, tailored to your vehicle model and your current system.
