Recommendations for the show truck. Fi, Polk, Diamond...???

I'd consider a US Amp/RE Audio setup but there's no way I'll be doing 2 15's. I just sat in a truck with 1 12" MTX 9500 and that was enough bass for me. That's why I was saying I'd like to do 1-2 12's.
How do you like those Polks? I was looking at the Momo series.

I use to have the Momo's...their too soft of a speaker. Not enough midbass, insanely harsh silk tweets, I just think you can get better for the money.

If you truly wanted a one company setup that wasn't sort-of ghetto, i'd go with boston. They sound really good too and have very nice subs and speakers.

I'd have to say either a RE XXX/MX or a Fi Q.

Wow, I haven't heard people talk about Boston in quite a while. Kinda forgot all about them. I saw one of their oval subs at a show last year. As I recall it was pretty expensive. Have you had the chance to compare BA's to your Rainbows? If so how would you rate them? Like I said, a one company setup isn't neccesary, it would just make things a little easier.

I could get you a good deal on RE if you can't find anything else...

Thanks for the offer. Are you an authorized distributor? I've noticed there seems to be some key people to talk to on here when shopping for certain brands. When you say "if you can't find anything else" it makes it sound like I'd be settling for a lesser brand if I used RE. I'm assuming it wasn't meant to sound that way. I have to admit, I've never heard of Sundown. Do they have a distribution on the East coast or in the NW? I know some brands tend to be more popular on one side than the other. Know of any reviews on their products? I found their site but I'd like to see some more details on them.

Thanks again guys

check out the polk SR series, very nice components as well as subs, complete SQ................read the white pages on both

 

[tmoney 10+ year member]

i'll say diamond subs and amps. polk SR comps or rainbows cmx or the germs.

 

[diamond_sound 10+ year member]

I would go with all Diamond. As you can see in my sig I use all Diamond and it sounds great. In my pathfinder I am using all stock locations for the speakers and I get a ton of midbass to the point where I have to readjust the eq way down to not blow them out of the doors. Just my 2 cents.

inverted RE's would be sexay.. MX or XXX. I'd save the $$ and go MX.

since it's a show car, talk directly to the manf. and see what they might do.

1 of these for the win:

all memphis

or

all jbl

I checked out the white pages. Very impressive. That price on the component set is a little hard to swallow though. I might consider them if I knew I was going to hear some amazing differences between those and some of the other options though. For the same price I could do a set of the Rainbow Profi's. For about $200 less I could do the Germs. Has anyone had the chance to compare the Rainbows to the Polk SR's? I know konechiwa said he likes his SLC's over the Momo's.

I'd check out JBL's GTI series subs and component's and look at thier at thier power line amps. The polk sr's are awesome but polk doesn't make a strong enough amp to push thier sub. If it were me I would go all JBL thier GTI subs are sure to impress people.

 

[Tonyguy 10+ year member]

if you can get them for good money, then focal just released some amps, and they already make great speakers and subs. But more than likely, a full focal system will run more than 2g's.

my rainbows annihilate the bostons that are the same price range as them. The Boston are good speakers, don't get me wrong, in fact i was going to get them, but then i heard everything about rainbow, and well, bit the bullet and purchased them, and i am 100% confident in my decision.

The Bostons are very good, the rainbows are just plain better though.

Since the Z6's are being phased out for the new SPZ's (i think thats what their called) you should be able to find some pretty nice deals on them (thats boston's old top of the line speaker, the Z6)

The polk sr's are awesome but polk doesn't make a strong enough amp to push thier subs.

Or their comps, for that matter.... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

But those SR6500's are sa-weet sounding indeed!

Mystic, just bite the bullet and taste the Rainbow.

ya polk momo are ok speakers... nothing amazing but it aint audiobahn or some cheap bs though ... they are good basic speakers, and good build quality, the basket and the whole woofer is very solid, its been more than a year that i have them and they went trough winter summer rain snow colddd all kind of weather, still work fine. but they could sound much better and natural... and i dont recommend them to you, hehe, IMO pay the most you can on components, they the most important thing man
