    Rainbow Install on paper... Looking for a second opinion

    Wow... sounds like that just opened my mind up to a whole other world... This *project* actually started with just getting a car PC installed and crossed over into getting a new amp and speakers haha. Once all that is said and done and I have everything installed, I will definitely revisit this...

    Rainbow Install on paper... Looking for a second opinion

    Hehe thanks a lot, I feel a little silly right now now though. RIGHT after I messaged the one I got these from, I changed the RCAs around and it all of a sudden works... The only thing I need to do is figure out how to set the gain (there are no onboard gain controls, only a remote). The...

    Rainbow Install on paper... Looking for a second opinion

    Well unfortunately, I am pretty sure something is wrong with the rear channels of this amp... I wired both x-overs to the front with 90watts and got sound out of all the speakers. I swapped cables with know good ones, re-crimped new cables, tried another audio source, triple checked everything...

    Haha yeah I felt kind of silly when I looked at that. I tried that last night and had the same results... Currently I have rewired the RCAs to be exactly that way.

    Goes from computer's front channel to a stereo connector splitter then to 4 RCA connectors then into the amp. I have tested both RCA pairs with a separate set of speakers. Thanks, Incudie

    Thanks again Helotaxi, Kind of strange (and has me worried). I have everything wired up and plugged in but I am only getting sound through the front bridge channel. I can not get any sound out rear channel... I tested: The Audio Source The cabling Re-Crimpped Checked the fuses in the amp...

    Rainbow Install on paper... Looking for a second opinion

    Helotaxi, You sir/ma'am win at life haha. That was exactly what I needed to hear. The last thing I could use clarification on is if it is safe to have the spears wired in this fashion. The set is rated at 150w max. With the amp configuration proposed, 270 watts will be coming out of each...

    Thanks the reply Ebrunn and Redcalimp5, When you say "run active" what do you mean exactly? Are you referring to the xover? (These are just the ones that came with the CMXs and they are wired as shown in their documentation...)

    Ok so I have everything layed out on a table plugged into the computer and car... about to wire the speakers and looking on configurations. These are the Kick versions of the CMX 265s. I am reading the manual and it looks like I need to set the Front and Rear to Highpass. So based on the above...

    I purchased my Rainbow stuff from 6spdcoupe. Shipped from NJ though. If you look around there maybe some closer distributors. Although 6spdcoupe was a great help during purchasing though.

    Bah... I almost bought that model too... I was told that with the higher end model (which wasn't too much more). I would have less overhead doing this configuration. Too late now though... =(

    Awesome thanks for the reply, I'll give that a try, maybe later today. Thanks, Incudie

    Heres the revised version: If I do this... would it be safe to split the input into both the front and rear channels? Thanks! --Incudie

    Rainbow Install on paper... Looking for a second opinion

    Great thank you for the clarification, That being said, if I wire the speakers in parallel on the amp on the bridged contacts, would that be be enough to meet the maximum power requirements of the speakers? Thanks! --Incudie
