speaker recommendation needed

just throw some German made Rainbow Profi Vanadium 3ways and never look back.......that truck deserves some high end TLC, just be aware that you may never want anything other than Rainbow again after you own them- anything from 85-125rms will make them sound amazing

guys, can you check out the only (yes, only!) "high-end" audio shop where i am (excl bestbuy & circuit city). this is prolly where i'll get my components installed when i get them. judging from the works shown on their webbie, can you comment whether they are reliable enough. i can go to big cities, but wanna save the 3 hrs or so drive.

That looks pretty decent. I would trust them to do an install judging by those pictures, but you also cannot tell everything from them. Also what will they charge to install the comps?

they charge by the hour. it's $40/hr for the labour. there's no other alternative unless i take a 3 hr drive to a big city. they look decent to me, but i'd just confirm with y'all since i'm no expert in this field. seems to know what they are doing/talking about when i visited them.

40 an hour isn't too bad, as long as they aren't dicks and take their sweet time doing it. Where are you having them installed? are there stock locations or what?

 

[mr personality 10+ year member]

they have a garage behind the shop. they say it should take around 2 hr to install an amp and 1 hr for each speaker. i think that's reasonable enough.

anyway i'm still shopping around for the set of speakers. prolly going with a 3 way, so it'll take a little longer than normal. any estimate on how long should a 3 way installation take? or any suggestion on which one i should look into based on earlier discussion?

Wow two hours for an amp...3 way can take an insane amount of time because of where the third speaker has to go, it usually needs to be fabricated.

squeak, you're one of the few people who've heard both dls iridium 6.3 (3 way) and boston z6 (2 way). any review/suggestion between the two?
