Rainbow SLC

[scotsman 10+ year member]

I have an extra amp laying around which is a MTX Thunder 502 which is rated at:

125 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms

250 watts RMS x 2 at 2 ohms

500 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms bridged

Would I be able to hook a set of rainbow SLC 6.5" or SLC Kicks to that amp? Also what is the diff between the regular and kicks, and how much do each of those go for around? I saw ~230 shipped for the SLC but nothing on the kick?

Thanks

pm 6spdcoupe for prices on rainbows, he's an authorzied dealer and I believe he was selling those at less than what you say ($220??? not sure)

Kick version you are looking an additional 40 dollars. Is it worth it? Midbass performance is pretty sick IMO- its engineered to excel in a door, in the 80-220hz as far as kick bass goes. It can easily match or beat performance of some larger drivers.

does rainbow sell drivers without the xovers and do they build thier own drivers?

What about that amp? Will 125 watts @ 4 ohm be ok for each speaker?

Don is going to be having a group buy on them for $220 shipped. I think you should get in on it. They are amazing speakers!

They should sound incredible. I think we are going with an eclipse amp or possibly arc audio.

Yes theyre all newer models, directly from Germany.

Yea, you could say theres a bit of a difference. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Most of the others..Germaniums,Profi,ProfiVanadium,etc..

Although bang for the buck, SLCs are a great choice.
