see, the only reason I got them is because the best sounding car ive heard...was with type R comps...they sounded great. This kid had an RSX with 2* 6.5" components, and id say a 145db daily system...listened to mostly Metal, and these speakers just shined. you could hear every word, no distortion, and decent midbass. This is why I bought them, but i cant get mine to sound even close to as nice....???

The type S coaxials (last I checked) sound MUCH better than the R's.People call me crazy for recommending the S's over the R's.But they do sound quite a bit better.The Hype R's are just selling on the higher end instilled image if you will.I just came inside from the heat, so sorry if that doesn't make much sense.Basically selling on the "type r" name alone.

If you want loud, I agree, boston pros can really dish out some output.

How come the Rainbow SLC's come in a 3 way and 2 way set up, but the Germaniums only come in a 2 way set up?

And is there that much difference between the Kick SLC's and the regular SLC's? Just a lot more midbass I'm assuming? And I'd guess more midbass in the 465 Germaniums then the 265's right?

have you seen the 465 Germs...its TWO midbass drivers per side. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif that is a ton of midbass. any of the rainbow sets are fine. I own the Germs and do not regret buying them.

The Type S's do not produce much midbass, theyre mostly tweeter.. The Type R is the opposite

Double Woofer System

(4 woofers = 2 per side)

Didn't see that the first time around on the Rainbow site lol. I bet those cost a pretty penny. MOst likely out of my price range. I dunno where I would put to mids anyways? I guess one in my door and one in the kick in a pod with the tweeter in my stock location. Cuz I'd have to do the same with the 3 way setup on the 3 way SLC's. Door, Kick, stock tweeter pod. I see this getting expensive:uhoh:

The R's have retarded ammounts of misbass in there price range

 

[SkwurlyFab 10+ year member]

They have midbass, but only if you cross em low and don't play em loud.

im talkin about the Type R Coaxials, not the components

The coaxials have significantely more output then the components

If I was to use a pair of Q-logic kick pods (http://www.cardomain.com/item/QLCQLK4003B87?vq_id=none) Would it be better to use the stock tweeter location in the corner of my door right by the pillar or use the tweeter location in the kick pod?

Type r's have really good midbass. I have had boston pros, cdt, and aura mobile reference comps (same car same install locations) and the bostons were the only ones close to the r's in midbass. From what you are saying I would be looking at the install before buying new speakers.

couldnt agree more on the type s coax, their tweeters are clean

I'v had 2 pairs for type-r's and thire spiders are really weak. they tend to blow realy easly and they are not very loud or else if they dont play too clean. as for the midd bass, thats the only thing i like about the type-r's. its really punchy well only on some songs. and the tweets are overpowered by a sub if you have one thats doing 300 or more watts.
