Super Frustrated...Plz Help!!

I have $10 via PayPal if someone can find a thread where Slick doesn't recommend Rainbow speakers!!!
And to answer your question about which are better the Pro's or OZ....it's impossible without defining 'better'. The OZ's where in an install which received a perfect score in a sound off competition.

basically which do you think would get louder and which do u think would sound better with hiphop/rap music

i know its an opinion....but im curious to know what you think..

pros are a solid comp set. .. but then again rainbow slc's are a bargain at 220, not much of a difference to save 100+ bucks..

The benefit of the Pro's is the higher power handling capabilities...the drawback is the the potential sharpness of the metal dome tweeter. You will not get a ton of midbass out of a 5.25" speaker.

If you want loud music, you need efficient speakers and/or a ton of power. This where the OZ's win.

My guess is that without proper tuning of your entire system and because I've never heard anyone listen to rap music softly, your call will probably sound like this: boom-tiss...boom-tiss...baboom-tis-tis....

That is what i think....and therefore I cannot be wrong //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

$10 please!

do you guys want me to recommend infinity's or alpines for the same price range??? for ballin on a budget Rainbows are hard to beat. I do not strongly recommend anything besides slc's and germs (from Rainbow)because I have either: heard them extensively, or own them. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif 99% of the threads where I post about Rainbows have a budget limited to the 2 aforementioned options. Anything above that I stay out of the thread...because I do not want to be like half the bums on here who recommend speaker sets without hearing them.

I have Pro60's and about that wattage and they are very loud. Very clear too, I would not give them up for anything and I have an 880PRS as well.

 

[PollyCranopolis 10+ year member]

If you have a nice 4 channel amp, couldnt you run the the active front stage just from that, using the 880prs?

 

[Kickerkitty 10+ year member]

Yes, and it would probably sound great. I wish I had a PRS-X340 (4 channel) instead of 320 (2 channel), because I would do exactly that.

 

[PollyCranopolis 10+ year member]

So I could run my RF851x 4chan and my 880prs? Great! I I would need then would be a decent sub amp for my 1 15', and some sound deadening!

Isnt this pretty much the same thing?

Also, would there be a major diffrence in going with a cheaper set for active vs, buying as higher priced passice set like SLC's?
