A two-way speaker has two speaker cones built into one speaker assembly: one cone to generate lower-frequency sounds and one cone to generate higher-frequency sounds. The low-range speaker cone is larger, the high-range cone is smaller. In car speakers, the low-range speaker cone usually occupies most of the area of the speaker, and is made from a light-weight, paper-like material, sometimes painted black, sometimes gray. A three way speaker has three speaker cones built into the assembly, an additional cone for mid-range frequency sounds.
