I'm wondering if I can get away with around 20 watts rms deck power until I get an amp without damaging them for maybe a month or two?

I'll be down for a set of the Kicks, Need to pay via CC no paypal.
Or I can mail off a USPS check.
I'm looking within the next week.
Or I might have to find anohter option.
This Mr2 I bought is so quiet, you can hear wind noise =T

20 watts likely won't do it. 75+ is more like it...,mechanical limits on the other hand are easily surpassed
BTW I'm going to be running 390rms per side soon, most of it is headroom though

Yes sets are still available, but I should have mentioned in the thread this is for 10 sets. Mix and match doesnt matter.
I suppose after all the numerous GDs I failed to mention that small detail.
List is started add your name and what you want:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
Jusging by all the PMs/emails and a few posts that should be filled very quickly.

This isn't entirely true, you can clip the **** out of the amp all day long. If you don't reach the thermal limits of the driver, it won't blow (IE BURN!), PERIOD.

would turning up the amp to 3/4 gain cause clipping? What is usually the volume level of a HU that results in sending a clipped signal?

Only way to really tell is to:
A.) Trust your ears, only really works if you KNOW what to listen for. Severe clipping is obvious, however it can be a little hard to determine just when something begins to clip at all.
B.) An O-scope and music/test tones
To conclude, clipping can be a serious issue. But I believe that it is wrongly attributed to transducer failure in many cases. Mechanical failure is likely the culprit in most situations, even tweeters (more so in active setups).
Clipping only kills speakers if they SURPASS their thermal power handling. Use RMS values as a BASIC guide for this, just don't go bonkers over it, they will likely see only 1/4 of the power form your amplifier anyway...

Ok guys, got a few questions about these Rainbows. I've been trying to look them up online and can't find any real answers to my questions. I was wondering what the difference is between the SLC 265's and the SLC 265 Kicks?? On one site it only shows the mounting depth to be the difference but are there any more?? I drive an 03 SE, and was wondering what I would need to install them in my front doors, and also would the tweeter fit in the stock location??

Completely different drivers. I havent found there to be a substantial amount of midbass from the CMX opposed to the SLC. Although detail from both the tweet and midbass came out above in the CMX set. CMX's have a slightly larger ( although hard dome) tweet - CAL25.
