i dont remember....Manny up in CT fixed all that....but now im not to impressed with the midbass im getting.....

i would advise getting a nice 2 channel amp, 100x2 @ 4 ohms to pair with the us amps you currently have to run this setup.

im also selling my coustic 510-dr that i was origonally going to use on the tweets. it needs to go back to chris though to get touched up

So what caused the slap?

 

[its_bacon12 10+ year member]

my guess would be it was a low slope crossover.. 6 or 12 maybe

i think it was 12 db slope....

ugh i rather not run two 2 channel amps....its plenty cluttered back there as it is.

a usamps xt1600.2.....200x2

Get another us amps 2 channel for your tweeters...

then youd have to sell and get a 4 channel

or a 6 channel and bridge the back 2 on the mids

i was just going to sell the 2 and get a solid 4 channel.....im off to class ill check back here around 330

keep in mind, the tweeters are 8 ohms. but it doesnt really matter because effeciency is higher than if they were 4 ohm

ok....so could you possibly recommend a 4 channel?

 

[dvrmstrng 5,000+ posts]

well i have one week to make a decision what 2 do...thats when the person who wants to buy the rainbows will have the money....i guess its time to start reading.

got this response from someone over at DIY forum

ince you don't have any processsing, I would recommend the Seas CA18RNX + seas neo tweets (27TAFNCG). This combo should give a pretty smooth response out of the box. This will leave you with about $400 to spend on a 4-channel + some left over for materials. I would recommend the PG x200.4 which should give you plenty of power.
