Re: Another speaker question

The woofer usually reproduces from the 4khz to about the 20hz range. Now depending on the size of the woofer will determine the lower range in the sound reproduced. A 3.5" woofer will never be able to reproduce the 20hz sound. There just isn't enough cone area to get it that low. A 3.5" speaker will usually go down to about 1khz to about 600hz.

Ideally this is what you will want to get the full sound.

Tweeter - 20khz - 4khz
Mid-Range - 4khz - 1khz
Mid-Bass - 1khz - 80hz
subwoofer - 80hz - 20hz

Good luck in the system you decide to go with.
You explained everything so well I got nothing to add. I would also recommend some little pioneers. Decent price and they sound pretty decent too!
