Loyd got a 12" Profi and Vanadium from us for the big comparison he is doing at the end of the month, so there will be some good info then.

There are one or two reviews of Rainbow subs on this forum, try a quick search.

btw... what does it mean by Impedence 2x 3.6 Ohm @ 100Hz? what ohm do i get if i put them in parallel?

They are dual 4 ohm drivers.

btw... i'm planning to get 4 set of the vanadium, put it all in one box sealed, do you think that's overkill or a waste of money? or i should get the amboss series instead? erm... its going to be for daily use... and i'm also planning to make my car as an entertainment car where all the tv and games will be put inside, but the local dealer hope i can transform it as a demo car as nobody have used rainbow yet in brunei...

erm, anyway, so what power will you recommend me to feed to those subs? i don't want to overpower them though...

Aim for exactly what their rated power is or maybe 25% over. Let us know how it turns out.

according to the website, the nominal power the sub can take is up to 350 watt and 600 peak... so 350 x 4 = 1400 @ 1.8ohm... so i figure the lanzar opti2000d can give out that much power at 1.8ohm... so i told the dealer about what amp i had in mind, but he protest my idea saying that the opti broke easily and it wouldnt be a nice match with the vanadium...

so he said that my mtx TA81001 will perform better than the opti, and he even suggested to me to get 2 of the rainbow amp KW M2000 which i think is not a very good idea considering i'm planning to get all the sub in one box, or should i get two box instead?

u can power 2 subs with 2 amps in 1 box.

yeah i know... but unfortunately, we don't really have a really expert technician available here in brunei... and that include me... so trying to be on the safe side, i think it would be better to use a single amp to power them...

IA 20.1 sounds good to me
