You talking about the Bes? Great, but not worth the money spent IMO. |

With that kind of budget, Rainbow Platinums are excellent. The SEAS Lotus comps are extremely nice for the money.
What kind of sound are you looking for? Neutral and balanced, more ballsy, warmer? Give me an idea and I'll recommend something. |

Jonathan is the speaker man, he'll steer you in the right direction
Jonathan, i don't know if you saw my post, but i got a set of Rainbow Profi Vanadium 3 ways comming(new versions, not the 2002 ones from Speedsound). gonna power them with a Zapco REF 350.2. and run them with an IDMAX 12 sealed powered by a Zapco 750.2. what do you think?? |

That's a sweet system. You should be extremely happy with it.
As far as the Focal, yes, I think it's way short on value. Note I'm not a huge Focal fan.

for jonathan...well i listen to more rock then anything so i am thinking i need more mid range then someone who listens to say rap or techno but i also want some versatillity but i am think ing i might get that with a good EQ and Crossover for my subs, but i dont really know a whole lot about the EQ crossover world and whats good and what needed etc. i also maybe should add that my new system is being set up for a 94 mazda RX-7 so i have a small cockpit so to speak budget wise i am lookin higher end for sure this is a show car so... other thing would 3way or 2 way be better for my needs? |
