This pretty much covers all.300+ is a bit much for the rainbows if you are volume-hungry. If you are sparing with the gain then they can take 200w without issue. Just to give you an idea, i'm running 340w/side to my power line cs. The power line CS woofers use the same motor/basket as the vanadium 7" SUBWOOFER.
I ran the same amp to my germaniums but it wasn't necessary at all. The germaniums will get kicking on 150w/side and 200w-250w/side is enough to have plenty of headroom.
My germaniums came with a flush mount for the tweeters...
And Don handles the warranty returns for Rainbow for the US; i've used warranty service through him before with prompt results and no problems.
I've never heard any Rainbow products so I can't comment on that. I can comment on my Focal K2P (upgraded versions). I got these to replace a set of C5s. I've currently got my amp bridged, doors deadened, speaker pods, and dynaxorb. I've set my HPF at 50hz and these just wail all day long. I turn off my sub just to hear the speakers by themselves and it's so amazing how loud, clear, and low they get. I listen to a lot of hiphop/rap and trance. I've got the tweeters at -3dB and it's amazing how immersive the sound in my car is. I'll continue to turn it up and they sound better and come to life even more and my music comes alive. They can get extremely loud and sound great while doing so. Definitely go check them out and hear for yourself. I'm definitely a believer and would buy them again!!
I totally agree with you. The K2P's are one of the best component speakers I've heard for $500-$600 bucks. These speakers pretty much scream turn me up. The more you turn up the volume the more amazing the sound becomes.....but by that time your deaf. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gifI've never heard any Rainbow products so I can't comment on that.
