very brief...

in your opinion, which one would sound best given the same condition (gears & install) for SQ

Focal Access 3-way (semi-active)
or
Audison Voce 2-way (full active)
or
Hertz Mille 2-way (full active)

TIA
A 3-way will entail more costs than your 2-way. Wiring is one.. installation and fabrication is the other. But as long as you tune it right, even a basic 3-way will outperform a more expensive 2-way. So the Focal Access 3-way gets my vote.

The logic is very much like a turbo car versus a N/A engine. Given a certain distance, the turbo car will be better (faster) and it'll also be more failure-prone (BOV, turbocharger, etc.). You also need to tune the ECU well so you can take advantage of the added power. But when it all boils down to it, if you don't tune it well.. your 3-way will suck. And tuning a 2-way is significantly easier than a 3-way setup.
