I thought alpine type rs were good speakers...big mistake..I put the 6.5 coaxil type rs all around, and powered them all with a alpine 50w x 4 amp....they don't handle bass worth crap....and I have been playing with the bass eq and gains for about 2 weeks now....only reason i bought them was because I work at best buy at got them for 77 a pair... Rainbows better than alpine? I haven't heard of Rainbows before...so Im kinda leary....but then again they are from a german company..most german companies make kick *** audio stuff..

 

Whole other league than the Type R's.

 

+1 its not even a fair comparison...

 

Go rainbow!
I work at Best Buy too and had to make the same choice....cheap stuff sold there or good stuff at a much higher price......u wont regret it

 

Much higher price? I would say $220 for SL's is a VERY competitive price. BB or CC have infinity or similar0 component sets for the same price.

 

Ok, rainbows it is! Don, you are a rainbow seller?? anyone want to buy two sets of type rs for 140 plus shipping?? and anyone know where I can find a price scale or something for rainbows? thanks guys.

 

check the site and lemme know what you want, WAY too many variations to type em all.

Although I know most people arent ready to purchase the Reference or Platinum lines.

 

220 is much higher when compared to the prices I can get stuff for at BB is all I meant......like I said, itll be worth it

 

Yea, I was talking retail prices. Wasn't really interested in your h00kup, y0.

 

Ya I just meant that it makes the desicion harder when you can get the lower end stuff for dirt cheap cause the jump in price seems unnessasary because of the amount of margin in car audio (at least the stuff at BB)

But agian I decided along time ago that it would be well worth it to take the step up and do it right the first time

 

For some stuff you feel like that after you buy it. With the good stuff it's a differents story.

 

+1
I couldn't agree more

 

you know i still havent found anywhere that sales rainbow speakers

 

umm...did you even read the thread?

 

Prolly because only two people in the US are authorized to do so.

 

Really....................................

 

Juan, looks like you're in a good mood.

 

I usually am ...

 

Sounds like me good deal.

 

Not that hard to find someone on this board.....
