Yes I know there is a difference it is just habit. When asking most ppl what speakers they have the reply will be "D&D speakers or D&D audio or Digital Designs". I really have never heard anyone that i can remember actually say "DD audio" for some reason the & is always used. So its a habit when typing. No disrespect intended

Coax = built in tweeter.
Component = separate tweeter/midrange/woofer

Components generally sound better but take up more room and typically cost more.

Not necessarily, you will however have to find some where to put a tweeter, whether it is in the grills, a gauges, or drill new holes. Also many components come with a separate crossover that will need to be mounted somewhere..

@Ndfastln My BNL drilled the holes where his factory mirrors were mounted so i can get him to drill mine for the tweeters. What would you recommend for a brand of good quility and sounding 6.5 speakers price is really not an option just read alot on the forums and see how alo of fellow riders have spent alot of $$$$$$$$$$$$ and have had several diff set up bc they didnt have the help im guessing. So i research, read, and ask alot of questions.
