Rainbow/ARC system set-up Question?

No need to be jealous, just save your money.

This is only one more amp than had last time, with a completely dif set-up. I do not mind it being more complex and adding more flexibility. It will be more of a pain the ass though. I am not dead set on two pair of tweeters but will probably buy the Powerline CS275.27, for the mid. It gives a Cal27 to play with along with my Cal26 so it cool. I would do two pair only and only if there is a marginal difference. If I go with one then I will take the pwr from one set and use it to run the KX130 in the rear when I have then on. Scince I alreaady got all the amps I will just use the all if needed. If not It gives me a back up if--I am not even going to say it and ginxs myself.

Like you said there will test placement and replacement until I get the sound I want. Got a couple of knowledge people actually doing the install with my input and my ear as to what I want and how I want it to look. As usual I always help with my installs so everything is excatly the way I want it and for some reason I always like to do the bulk of the sound deadening, because I am anal about it.

I have not played with the MEQ-30s yet I opened the box and that is about it. Yes they are mono as far as I am tracking. I got a deal on them BNIB from a buddy who had them laying around and never used them. Which is where I got 2 of my BNIB ARC amps also. He decided he wanted to go Zapco so I was more than happy to help him get there, with a discount on the MEQ-30s and the amps of course.

I will make a decision on the HU also. SQ of the deck is #1, how the features can be integrated and then looks. Right now it is the 8455 going in and the Pionoeer as my back-up HU.

Thanks to everyone for the input so far. I will take all input into consideration as the process goes along. I am sure you will see more questions in the future.

Keep the input and opinions coming

Thanks Brian

Single 12 is what I ran before and it worked perfect. I honestly think it will 1 x 12 again. I got 2 so I got a back-up. The 6.5 in the kicks was just a thought. My first choice it the 4". I did not buy the Powerline yet but I really am likeing the mid after I heard one.

Reccomend me a DIY mid that is comparable to the Powerline. I am open for anything. I can buy a couple different ones, use the Profi Van mid and test them out against each other to see what will work best. Then later if I felt the need could go the POwerline route.

I just want 98% of what is going in the truck or will be tested in my hand when the build starts. I do not want to have to wait for this to that to ship, as once I start time will not be on my side.

They are shocking to say the least. They are like nothing I have ever heard. They will play almost as low as a say a 10" driver. They are the most controlled, loud, powerful, balanced mid and I have ever heard. They could acutally almost compete with a nice 8" or 10" sub in the 60 to 80hz range. Thats why I am so jumpy about getting them. I have heard them in two dif set-up and both times I could not believe that was actually coming from a mid driver. There is an old review on DIY or on here about these mids but I cannot remeber what they said the Freq range they where getting out of them was. I will try to find the link and post it on here later.

I will go look at and check out the seas and go find that review from npdang. Thanks

The other thing is I am trying to make this as close to stealth system as possible. This will be a major pain the a**. So mids in doors locations, then the kicks. Amps & MEQ-30s under the rear seat somehow and the sub and 1 amp behind the rear set. What am I getting myself into.
