FS: Rainbow PRO Line CS265-P3 speakers

I have a 4 month old set of the rainbow pro 2 Way Component speakers. They were unpowered by my DEI 4500 amp so they werent pushed hard at all. (spiroh can prove thats true) Speakers/tweeters are in excellent condition. The crossovers have some dynamat on them, and i couldnt get it off. But its only on the covers of the crossovers. It doesnt effect anything.

Asking $300 shipped for them. Please email me at Jesal@iwon.com

dude, buy another set of amps and sell them... you're about due...

Finding the right amp sucks.

What did you end up getting after you sold the DEI amps anyway?

I'm thinking of PG ZX400Ti & PG ZX600Ti since I can't find a decent 5 channel amp :angry:

those look like focal utopia 165W 2 ways? Should I feel guilty? :P

Arc audio hunh? How's that shit sound? Where'd you get it from?

I think I'm gonna go with a 2 amp solution cause a 5 channel won't give the subs the power they need.

EDIT: That arc audio shit looks pricey

Yes you bastard, you should feel guilty. Focals are just my type of sound, and i shouldnt have sold them before. But for my music, the focals are perfect. Dont get me wrong, the rainbows are great, but just wasnt for me.

I got the arc amps through a guy from another forums. Im sure he can hook you up, but i would have to ask. They are pretty good amps from what i have read. I just got them so they arent installed yet. They will be in the car on friday.. i will let you know how it sounds.

Oh and yes, i think you should get a 2 amp setup you lazy ass.

Hey, if you get a chance, run these by your guy?
4150CXLR
2500CXL
1500D-R

If he can do somethin' cool, if not, I'll just buy yours when you get rid of 'em in 1 month. :P

Good choice on the Arc amps.

i have a 4150 cxl-r r running Rainbow Pro Vandium 2 ways. One of my channels on the amp is bad but it still sounds good bridged.

BTW, as far as Arc Audio, they have SUPER customer service. Probably the one of the best if not THE best in the industry.

I'm gonna be sending in my 4150 for service(as soon as they get back from CES) to them even after i bought the thing second hand from someone. They are also gonna replace my side panels because the mounting brackets were bent when i recieved the amp from the guy that sold it to me.


I also have a second arc 2150cxl running an idmax and that thing sounds great also.



As for Rainbow speakers, i went with rainbows over focal because the tweeters are known to be a bit softer and still very detailed while the Focals are known to be a bit too bright.

Had. I went with Utopias as well. They were both excellent sets. The midbass on the rainbows will amaze you!! The tweeter is very detailed, but easy on your ears. I had a hard time choosing over each one. It would go down to personal preference. The Rainbows are more realistic sounding though.

Anyone ever consider CDT Audio? By far the best midbass I've ever heard.

I have the Braxials in front and coaxs in back, with 2 10" MS100s in the trunk.

Here's a review on the HD63s: http://www.cdtaudio.com/michaelkim.htm
