2007 Corolla

6 1/2" Speakers

Does anyone have experience with the folowing:

Boston Z6 $1000/pair

Rainbow Profi Vanadium Phase Plug $750/pair

I don't like the Boston speakers because they can't be discounted.

Any other suggessions?

I'm looking for the best speaker I can get for sq, and of course at the cheapest price.

Thanks.

Do you care about a warranty ? If not , buy those Bostons from Ebay .... They are selling below cost , but have had the serial #'s scratched off. They're probably perfect speakers , but Boston won't even repair them if they go bad when the serials have been removed , OR if they can trace them to a non-authroized sale. As a Boston dealer , I can guarantee you, you MUST have a receipt from an authorized dealer to get a damaged Boston piece repaired by them. Having said that , I think the Rainbow's SMOKE the Boston Z-Series. Better mid-bass , and much smoother and natural sounding highs. In the Rainbow line , the Profis sound more natural than the Profi Vanadiums though.

BTW , I have either owned , tuned , or installed ALL three of these sets many times over ......

Profi Phase Plug for ultimate SQ ...... Profi Kick for insanely great mid-bass. If I listened to more rock , rap , or metal I'd go with the Kicks , but if you are a Jazz , Vocals , Classical , ect .... I'd go with Phase plugs.

Sub is also going to be very music , and preference oriented. At this time , my favorite sub going is the Boston Acoustics SPG-555 in a 1cu ft sealed enclosure.

I see OZ Audio in addisdar's signature above.

How do these compare to Rainbow?

I found the OZ Audio 180CS for $300 online.

Seems like a great price if they retail for $650.

As I'm unable to hear any of these speakers, your help is much appreciated.

oz is a pretty smooth speaker. its kinda hard to get them to sound bad or harsh.

For $300 the CDTs would be good. But they are NOT going to compare with the Rainbow Profi line in any way .....
