OP
I would STRONGLY second that. I've had Crystal SSCS6 and Focal components, and for under probably $300 shipped, you can get a set of the Rainbows and be very happy with the results.max of $300 you should seriously consider the Rainbow SLC 265 Kick.
More cone area of the 265 over the 230 would give it an advantage. I'd venture to say the added cost would be worth it.how much better is the 265 kick compared to the 230? same tweeter i believe... just different speaker? how much more midbass will I be getting if I spend the extra money? (i can get a used 230 for $140 and the 265 kick new for about $120 more, but i would have to cut a bigger hole in my car which i don't know i would want to do)
