i just ordered a set of Rainbow CS 265 Profis to go with my ED NINe.2x. im pretty excited to see how they sound in my car, ive never heard them in an SUV before. if i like them ill order a set of the CS 265 Profi kicks and another NINe.2x so i can actually hear something over the subs.
im still looking for a nice set of 6.5 midbass drivers. if at all possible i would like to run them off the HU because im running out of space for amps. they will be put in the back doors of my mountaineer just for a little fill. id like to spend under 200-250. be honest and tell me if you really think its necessary to have them?
thanks |

Yay! another Rainbow user on the forum 
where did you order from Jake?? please tell me you didn't order from Speedsound?!?!?
and yeah, Rainbows can take a lot of power. whenever i can get a second set of Symbilink cables and once i pick up some vynal tomorrow, i got a Zapco Reference 1000 thats gonna power my Profi vanadiums with 250 watts a side. they got 175 on them now.
as far as the rear fill goes, its not that important, but you might like it, kinda a personal preference thing. but you'd have to find a way to band pass them either actively with the HU and Amp crossovers or with a passive crossover. couldn't tell you a passive set that anyone makes. |

brandon i got them from my uncle, he knew someone in the chicago area that sells rainbow at somewhat decient prices.
i think im going to forget about the rear fill until i get everything up front set. hopefully ill get the first set in by the middle of auguest and then the kicks done before the middle of september.
what would you suggest for tweet placement? A pillar, dash, or what? and also do you have any pics of your speaker setup? |

idk who sells Rainbow in Chicago. theres only 2 dealers in the US. one in New Jersey and one in Georgia. make sure its the current line of stuff. the older stuff, like what speedsound sells, is good for its time but the new stuff blows it away!
best thing to do with the tweeter is go buy a roll of tape and move them around till you find the spot you like. every car is different so you'll get different results depending on where you put the tweeter.
kick panels are great but can be useless depending on the car they are going in.
i posted a thread a while back when i was working on my install (which i'm working on again, lol, upping the power). heres the link again:

Simon - keeping the Zapco Reference 750.2 bridged on the sub, but putting a Reference 1000 on the components. thats 250 watts a side now, and i'm redoing the amprack because everything has to move. |

lol, bad simon.
still working on it all, never have the time and things can't go right for me, lol. i have the Reference 1000 on the components now. 250 a side now from 175. not too much a difference, a little louder of course and a little more mid bass is all i've noticed. |
