JB's got my disease! :-) and I mean that as a compliemnt. LOL. But I must say that JB's a lot more articulate.
JB I did try some fullrange drivers in the car but i found that since they were designed for the home enviroment their cones and surrounds did not stand up too well in the hot, humid car enviroment in Mumbai. In fact one of the drivers I had used (in the early 90s) was a 8" Tannoy dual concentric in the rear of my Contessa. That was when Ram of R&S Eelectronics had bought Tannoy to India (along with Dynaudio).
I found the Tannoys to be beautifully dynamic but a bit too forward. Some music even got irritating.
Back to the topic...
In short using a 3 way or 2 way in a car depends on the drivers you have access to, the car you intend to install them in, and the effort you intend to make in the installation. The factors are so variable that it can only be discussed on a case to case basis.
