The three frequencies work together in the same sound channel. These units are typically more expensive than the 2 way units. However, you need to pay attention to the quality of the materials used in the making of the equipment. The fact is that a high-quality 2-way unit can be better than a low-quality 3-way unit. So, it's best not to purchase a speaker merely because it has a 3-way driver. You need to shop around first.
