So what is the next step up from my SLC 265 Kicks, their lines have become really confusing since July when I last looked.

Cool. Those options remind me of the Germanium x-over's. I wish my Power Line CS's had 4 levels of tweeter attenuation //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Just installed a set in a 00 Civic. The tweeters are definitely better. Definitely.

filtor, can you elaborate on 'better'?

More detailed, more dynamic, more crisp?

I had the Contour line in before I got the Powerline CS's. This is basically what the SLC has morphed into with the exception of a nicer basket and a few other subtle differences on the midbass and a huge upgrade on the tweeter. These compared to my set of Contours. As I didn't get a ton of time to test and tune, the client picked up his car the night it was playing, I didn't get to sit and play to give you a full review at this time. IMO, the cal25 is tonally very different than the old SLC tweeter. It is warmer as well as more detailed. They do handle a bit more power and get noticably louder. Over all if you, or anyone was looking to upgrade in and around this pricerange, will be very happy with the set. I am thinking about doing 2 sets in the F150 if funds come around.

I'm sure if you called Rainbow they would tell you what resistor values to change.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Ye, the CAL 25 is the biggest difference I would assume. I still love my SLC 265 Kicks, no need to replace them yet //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Bi ampable is a big plus as well.
