Okay so my rear bose speakers finally blew and I decided to get rid of the entire system. I am thinking about getting a Pioneer DEH-P6800MP headunit but im still not sure what speakers to get. Im trying to not go above $300 for 4 speakers so do you guys have any suggestions on what speakers I should get? I was looking at some Infinity Reference 6012si speakers but some of the reviews said they lacked bass so im leaning away from them now. Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks.

 

Just as every single other speaker thread ends up...so will this one. Rainbow Soundlines from Don. Youll probably spend about 350ish for the components and coaxes combined, but its WELL worth it.

 

Oh I thought he sold them for $230 a pair.

i have Rainbow SL265 and 165 brand new. got them from Don.
$350.

 

I've been trying to get a set of Rainbow components for my 02 Max.
What's up Don? How can I contact you?

 

The shop number is 732-572-1969. Give him a ring. If he doesnt answer it probably means he is under the dash of a car, so leave a message and he will return your call.

96 B-rad: They are $230 a pair, for the front components. The rear coaxials are $120ish.

 

Oh okay $350 isnt that much more than I wanted to spend. But I still never actually heard them in a car. How do they sound? Do they give off a good bass?

 

I haven't heard them myself, so I can't say, but people rave about the sound quality. I'm not so sure you're gonna get much bass response out of any 6.5" speaker though. Unless you mean mid-bass. For bass, obviously you'd want a sub. =)

I think 6.5" speakers tend to roll off around 80-100Hz, or at least are crossed over (high-pass) around there. I'm not 100% sure though. I have my a/d/s components set to roll off at 100Hz with a 12db slope. Any lower and the sound tends to get a bit "muddy". But I have a 10" sub, so it all works out.
