for a center speaker, should I go with component and coaxial. this is for my car, but it was recommended that I ask in this section. so in general, would strictly mid-range be the perfect choice or go with the mid/tweeter in one combo?

incase it matters, i am looking into a 4" speaker for my center channel in my car. it will most likely be placed where the cigarette ashtray would go. these are the two speakers im looking at.

XR400-CM 4-Inch Component Midrange

    By no having a tweeter for your center channel and going strictly midrange you will missing out on a good amount of musical information, I would personally prefer the sound and idea of a Component speaker, but if it comes to space, get the coaxial with the tweeter instead of having only a midrange speaker.
