I'm ready to step up to the Rainbows but I want some input so PLEASE let me know what line do you have and how you like them. Thanks!
From my research and speaking on the phone and IM, etc, when you pass the germanium line is it becomes more about the quality of the install.I guess I should have giving a little more info on what I was requesting. I did do a search for Rainbow and hundreds of the same post come up suggesting doing a "search".
What I'm after is to find out info on the 6.5 sizes for the fronts of my truck;
1. What line are most people using
2. How do they like them
3. I'm interested in the Germanium, Profi, and Profi Vanadium lines
4. Interested in finding out what's the difference between their regular 6.5 woofer, kick woofer, and the plug
I also have read everything about them on their web site but I want info from people that have actually had them in their hands and used them.
Thanks,
John
1: Most people turn to the SLC's or Germaniums. The SLC comps will cost you somewhere between $250-350. They sound very good for the price. The Germaniums are a step up at around $550. These sound excellent and have an amazing passive crossover design.What I'm after is to find out info on the 6.5 sizes for the fronts of my truck;

The Vanadium mids certainly sound cold -'ER' than the Paper cones, but i would certainly not describe them overall as a cold sounding speaker. Only using the Phase plug Vanadium driver would i describe the midrange as colder and articulate.The Profi and Vandium lines differ in that the profi has a paper cone (which gives it the more warm tone that Rainbow is known for) while the Vandium have a metal cones which IMO sound cold.

Theres still a degree of warmth and earthiness otherwise with the Kick and standard driver to the midrange, aside of the tonal accent to the midbass kick the aluminum cone provides.
