[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8791821, member: 591582"] This! My Rainbow speakers were still the best component set I ever heard, OP (not that what I've heard means anything). This was years ago, but the setup was a passive crossover with an independent neo-magnet silk dome tweeter (very soft domes) and a ferrite motor 6.5" paper cone woofer. They were very colorful speakers, and very tunable. I was running a 9887 head unit and an Elemental Designs 9.2x (200w per door @ 4 ohms at 12.6v), and the components were rated at 150w. Both of those were very loud and clear and almost kept up from 100 hz+ with my 2 pretty loud 18's. That was my experience. I highly recommend silk dome tweeters vs. metal or more hard dome styles. I had a 7 band parametric EQ in my 9887, and all sorts of crossover range and dB/octave slope options. It always helps when your speakers start off sounding balanced out of the box, but clean power, sound quality, signal, etc. + customizable EQ's with multiple high frequency bands and selectable roll off can very much manipulate the sound of any tweeter system or, really, any speaker in any part of the speaker. I would make sure you have the various tuning options available before you super invest in amps and speakers. If you can tune the brain of the system and all of the signals BEFORE they even go into the amp, then you can really tune your sound however you want, and quality/knowledgeable speaker purchases just further refines that ability.
