And I do, and you overpowered them, and they blew. Why? Because sometimes you just need to use your common sense. I have heard of people feeding 250 RMS max to 265 cmx kicks. Never 300, I'm shaky even feeding that to my hertz so I'm keeping my gains down until I know they can handle it.
Also you have 5+ people here who have told you you should be feeding 200 RMS or in that range at most, you made a honest mistake and I hope they have you covered

again, you do not know what youre talking about. just cause something has a rated power, doesnt mean its set in stone. if you knew a thing about car audio, youd know that by now. im not just some retard who decided to throw 200wrms to each comp on a whim. car audio has been a hobbie of mine for several years and ive had god knows how many setups which have all worked fine. i almost always overpower something if i know it will take it, and to this day i have not had a problem until these rainbows. furthermore i researched these speakers for a long time and got a sense of what people generally feed them without having problems. the common range was 150-200w/piece, and ive heard a number of cases of them taking 200-300wrms/piece without problems. i over power each 1 of my solo barics by 250w and they love it. ive been feeding them 1000w a piece for over 2 years now with 0 problems. youre welcome to do whatever you wish with your gear, but im going to get the most out of mine. quality gear isnt quality for no rason //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

obviously you don't get it. I saw that thread and the problem was you asked PER SPEAKER when you should've asked as a set, you probably got quite a few confused responses. i guarantee most people voting for 200 meant to vote 200 for the whole set. i have never heard of anyone feeding them 400-600 rms or even close to that, that's ridiculous, don't even tell that to rainbow when you warranty the speakers. the ideal range for them from all the rainbow owners has been 200-250rms and that's pushing it (i believe they are rated at 150?). i would bet 300 is the most you could push them. i was originally going to buy the cmx 265 kicks and i had at least 10+ people tell me to feed them no more than 250. you fed them 400 and they blew. DUH.
what happened speaks for itself, you blew your speakers. stop trying to act like you're right or you know something i don't know, you're the wrong one in this case ($300 wrong //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif)
good luck with the warranty, no more really needs to be said on this subject

pull your head outta your *** n00b. go back and REREAD this entire thread. youll see pretty much EVERYONE who spoke of power thrown to their CMXs specifically stated PER SPEAKER. no ones gonna talk about being worried about CMXs handleing 200wrms (per pair). use your damn head man. i know you think you know everything now because you finally understand Ohms law, but please just stay out of this thread. you DONT know what your talking about and your just pissing me off.
oh and btw, you may want to learn to count. there was only 1 person who said they thought 200w/speaker was too much but they were obviously just uncertain because they dont know rainbow gear and they wanted to play it safe and just do rated. flakko simply posted the specs. so, you fail. peace

on a lighter note, i just rechecked the gain setting tutorial and it appears the test tone i used was 0dB after all...
http://www.resnet.trinity.edu/areynol1/gain.htm
i think thats the one i used, especially since its posted right after my post asking for a 1kHz test tone. also, a -6dB tone would prolly be hard to find anyways lol. i have no idea where i even got -6dB from.

Reality Check: You blew your speakers. I predicted it. Learn to admit when you're wrong.
Maybe you fed them too much power.
Nah, it's Rainbow's fault. GET ANGRY AT THEM.
I recommend you feed 400 RMS to your next pair too! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
Keep talking trash to me and I'm going to point out this thread to your rep and he will have a good reason not to warranty your speakers dumbass. Learn your lesson next time around and get some common sense. If I were Rainbow I'd send you packing.

oh you predicted it? lol. no, you just started chiming in AFTER the fact b/c you think youre smart.
oh and btw, aaron already knows everything about this, so go ahead and tell him, hell prolly laugh at your dumb ass. hes the one who OKed me pushing this much power to them. i asked him first of course.
so STFU n00b, you dont know shit about car audio. you havent even been here for a year, youre 19, you have like 160 posts, and youve already proven youre mentally retarded, so GTFO.
quoted for emphasis because OP seems to have dissociative disorder and thinks his rainbows blew themselves.
no one here would recommend you to put 400 rms to cmx kicks, and especially not an authorized retailer. since you're such a prick i'm going to make sure to send all of this information to rainbow regarding your abuse of their speakers and warranty system.
are you still pretending like you didn't blow your speakers? you have worse denial than some junkies & alcoholics that i've known, the sad part is i'm not even lying
I've sent messages both to your rep and to rainbow regarding how irresponsibly you are abusing their drivers and taking advantage of their warranty service. Because of assholes like you some companies will eventually stop offering the service in the first place.

reading has failed you miserably. if you cannot comprehend that people IN THIS THREAD and other threads also have stated they pushed 400+wrms to a pair of cmx's, then you have no hope and you might as well kill yourself.
youre a moron who knows nothing about audio especially rainbow. quit being a pain in my as n00b and just leave this thread.
and if you werent so retarded you would have already read that aaron ALREADY KNOWS what i pushed to them. good luck in life.
you know i'm still waiting for him to say something. you can stop lying now. you have dug a deep, deep hole. i'm not going to post out of respect for him but i'm sure even he doesn't need to clarify the fact that you utterly destroyed these speakers. you should be forced to pay for the comps you destroyed.
its up to him if he wants to post on the subject and i will respect his privacy by not posting regarding him and this subject anymore. i feel sorry for him because he is the one that has to deal with the aftermath of your BS situation and hes the one that has to tell rainbow your stupid *** fed 400W+ into 150W max power rated comps. that's not even within the limits of acceptability for warranty service.
you are just so very wrong and you can't seem to accept it because my join year says 07.
