[QUOTE="SuperBlack350z, post: 1603745, member: 566012"] Hey all. I'm REALLY leaning toward the SLC's to replace my Alpine Type R's. With a stroke of luck my budget will allow for Germaniums, so this is kind of general questions regarding Rainbow. I know they're rated relatively low for power handling, 100w RMS for SLC's and for the Germaniums. The question is, will they take more? I know the Boston Pro's I was looking at before the rainbows basically required twice the listed RMS rating to really perform, but everyone says the Rainbows shine with little power, but will they take more? I'm looking at possibly putting about 125w to each side. For now I'm looking at a passive setup, I don't really have the knowledge to go active (yet, gotta do some research), which I'll probably stick with if I get the SLC's, but the Germaniums lend themselves more to an active setup (although I'm probably going to run these off of a two channel, since I don't run rear fill). Let the opinions fly. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
