Got my new Rainbow CMX 265 Kick's today from Don today. Just need to wait till when its not 5 degrees outside to install them. Lucky for me and my hands, my friend has a insulated garage. Also gotta wait on my 880PRS and my RAAMmat and Ensolite to come as well.

You should flush mount those mids...and 2nd order crossovers FTL //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
Why would you say he should flush mount the mids? I've got my CMX Kick mids flush mounted right now, but I was considering mounting them onto MDF spacers, myself.

Is there a reason in particular to flush mount over using the MDF rings?

Flush mount them to where? The door panel? And Im going to be running these active so I wont have a passive crossover. I am getting a Pioneer 880PRS to control all that.

Yeah, my passive xovers for this set are still sitting in the original box, too. I'm running mine active with an Alpine 7998. I've ran these passive before, and they sound MUCH better and more powerful when run active.

You have a 4-channel amp to run them or (2) 2-Channels? I already got a JL 300/2 and am currently looking for another 2-channel for the tweets or just buy a nice 4-Channel.

Flush mount it with the MDF ring...I did it with my Dayton RS180's and it looks really good(even though you normally can't see it). Plus you're using 3/4 MDF, so cutting it down to 5/8 or so isn't going to hurt it's structural integrity.

See above for flush mount answer.

Don't get the 880, RCA noise will kill you...

 
Just dont blow the PICO fuse and you will be fine
I already had an 800, didn't blow the fuse, and it was a pain sometimes...definitely like my 8053 more than the 880...there's really no comparison in SQ.

Excuse my ignorance, but the mids being held up with the MDF rings as pictured wouldn't be considered flush mounting?
Flush mounting consists of making the flange of the basket(part with the mounting holes), flush with the mounting surface. Using a router, flsuh mounting with MDF is a breeze.
