Rainbow amps?!?!

[FoxPro5 5,000+ posts]

Ok, so are these new or have I managed to miss them the previous 378 times I've been to the website?? http://car.rainbow-audio.de/products/introduction.php?lan=2&pro=3 It looks like they were reviewed within the last few months though (3/2006).

The 4 channel does 150x4 and has a pretty nicely sized heatsink at 15x11". //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

What are the 2V8 and 4V8's...are they car audio amps or for PA systems?? The x-over networks on them are sweet if they are car amps.

Care to enlighten us 6spd?

x3! The tech specs say 4x75w rms @ 4ohm and 4x130w @2ohm, though, not 4x150 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

2x260 (really 2x260 instead of 4x75w?!) from it on the germ mids and 2x50 from a small zapco might work out though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Looks like the KVx's are preamp boxes with gain control and crossovers.. and phase control too

Thinking of writing Rainbow GmbH a letter telling them that I will fill my pimp ride with their gear if they will send me some free stuff. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

why cant companies make thier amps look the same??? i see this from a lot of companies now lately the same line of amps and the mono's look different than the 4 channel... i mean if your gonna use them for show i want them to match...

I agree. The 2270 and 4150 look way better than that mono...barf //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/sick.gif.b1847c8dabbfeeddbcf1a78052249e10.gif

They are not uber expensive either.

just what I was thinking too. Another thing that bugs me is good brand amps making like 50x4 or 75x4; thats weak. Who does 50x4? Some HU can peak close to that. Atleast 100x4 should be the standard for a 4 channels. God let me design a freaking amp..//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

Well when you get to 100x4 the heatsinks get large. I had an orion 8004, it was over 2 ft long.

I could be wrong, but not even close to either. Closer to DLS if anything. Its not a uber high end offering, but rather just a solid amplifier.

I have not had the chance to hear an install with them yet actually.

Don will chime in later with prices I hope.

Ahhhem...that's it's rated power. We won't know until someone shows us some bench results //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

50 watts of clean power could surprise you

 

[iamamp3pimp 5,000+ posts]

50 watts of clean power is more than enough for 97% of systems out there
