Installed my rainbow components:)...pics

Finally got my Arc Audio ACS265 components put in.....all I can say is that
I've had a permanent smile on my face everytime I've been in my car....
The silk tweet on this set provides the warmest sounds....I actually went ahead today and bought music....1st time in the longest....a couple of CD's with heavy instrumentals and the sound is so pristine...they're great!!!
I'm also blown away from the fullness of the midbass....something that was lackin sevely from my old set of components.....

I did alot of searching on these in audio forums...and It was brought to my attention that they were made by Rainbow.....which was then confirmed by Don(Pearl96max)who is my Arc dealer

....it turns out they are (tweet/crossover/woofer) hehe.....So i might be the only 5th gen with Rainbows.....or Arc Audio components for that matter

Anyways.... to all those who gave me suggestions/advice and if anyone local NJ/NY wants me to audition my set up , I'd be honored to.

I know exactly what you mean! Isn't it nice?

True. I hardly bought any music at all while I still had the Bose system in there. Just no reason to, you know? With my Dynaudios in, I'm spending a fortune!

Glad you're happy! It looks good too!

Thanx for the compliments ....John....Tony!!

Hopefully this weekend(today) I'll post pics of my 1.5cu/ft custom enclosure Eric(friendhasmax) is building for my sub.....its going to be one hell of a finishing touch....I'm stoked!

I also am picking up another sheet of dampening to do the rear doors on sunday....shouldn't be as extensive as the fronts....just some around/and behind
the coaxes should do......Its amazing how this stuff brings out the mids
