Default Pioneers. 2way? 3way? 4way?

Now that's ive installed my new Kenwood DDX470 head unit, I'm going to start upgrading my speakers. I've decided to go with the doors first. Doing research all over Crutchfield, I've done some checking on the new Pioneers. Since my stereo controls 3 frequencies separately, I figured a 3 way speaker was the way to go. But I see there's a 4 way with a supertweeter. Would that compliment the sound quality to a more full sound? Would directional tweeters help fill the cab out from the lower speaker level in the door? I dont really trust myself instally tweeters with a full component system. Figured plug and play for $80 bucks a pair would work well. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated!

Directional tweeters would be a plus.
I think the 4-ways are a gimmick.
A mid range and a tweeter are all you need.

Probably any aftermarket speaker is better then OEM! Just buy a name brand.

I don't really know where to mount the cross over, how to cut the hole for the tweeter, etc. I don't think I'm at that stage yet. Kappas have directional tweeters anyway

I figured 3way would be better for sound distinction? Idk. I'm not too big on specifics. That's why I've Bern here for over five years. Lol

Just go to Amazon and search for infinity kappa. The 3 ways are there. I have a set in my truck and they are very good.
