【5.16s+5.8 Wide Range Separate 3-Way Passive Available｜Car Audio Speakers That Enhance Midrange Expression】

You want a little more presence from the vocals and more subtle articulation from the instruments in the sound of a 2-way speaker. You’d like to increase the overall thickness, but you don’t want a sound where only the bass or only the treble stands out.

For those people, the answer is a separate 3-way configuration that combines a 5.28 MK II tweeter and a 5.16 MK II mid-bass with a 5.8 Wide Range.

By adding a dedicated midrange unit, the sound connection becomes natural

In a 3-way setup, each speaker handles the low, mid, and high ranges.

The 5.16 MK II mid-bass supports the low end, while the 5.8 Wide Range takes care of the midrange. By reproducing the band that sits at the center of music—vocals, guitars, piano, and more—with a dedicated unit, it becomes easier to perceive vocal contours and the nuances of instruments in greater detail.

Since the high end is handled by the 5.28 MK II tweeter, each role is organized, and you can aim for a sense of cohesion where the sound doesn’t clump in one location, but instead spreads throughout the cabin.

Even with songs you listen to all the time, this configuration makes it easier to notice the vocalist’s breathing, the overlapping of instruments, and the depth of the soundstage.

5.8 Wide Range designed with installation flexibility in mind

The 5.8 Wide Range features a shallow mounting design with a depth of 49 mm, making it easier to consider installing in the vehicle. Its sensitivity is 86 dB, and it is specified to be easy to incorporate as a midrange unit in a 3-way system.

In addition, the recommended high-pass filter is 120 Hz, 12 dB/oct. Using a DSP or an external crossover and adjusting while checking the integration with your vehicle and other speakers makes it easier to create the natural sound flow that 3-way setups are known for.

In a 3-way system, the finish changes with installation and adjustment

Just because you choose 3-way doesn’t mean that adding units by itself will produce your ideal sound. You also need to check the midrange mounting position, the orientation of each speaker, the mounting method, the crossover settings, and how the sound comes together inside the cabin.

Even with the same speakers, impressions will differ depending on where and how you install them, and how you adjust them. At LOGON, rather than pushing 3-way just for the sake of it, we’ll review your vehicle model, factory system, the music you usually listen to, and your sound preferences—then organize the configuration that fits your car.

If you want to enhance midrange expression, you’re thinking about stepping up from 2-way, or you want to aim for a natural sound that won’t tire you out even after long listening sessions, please reach out to us. Let’s consider the installation methods and adjustment content that will make the most of the benefits of 3-way for your specific vehicle.
