Got rained out today, should have finished... maybe tommorow...

got both front doors sealed and crossovers mounted...

 

Looking Good! If you ever decide that you need to make a road trip and want to show off your sound system, Bigblackfx4 and i will buy the

 

Might just have to do that one day....

 

Still rained all day today also, but got the driverside installed, still need to install the top and bottom screws in the driver....

got dark and I learned when I was 19 about trying to install screws in speakers in the dark... not even going there, I can wait...

 

Tim, This thread is addicting. It is making me want to do a similar install in my truck. I have to resist the urge right now but, in the spring I get tax returns and bonus all at the same time! I am sure some of that will be burning a hole in my pocket. Keep up the good work, I am completely jealous.

 

word of warning. 5 layers was a little too much for the front door. my plastic didn't want to go back on

 

5 layer's Wholy Crikey..... Man i thought 1 Was enoungh...

 

I think it ended up being about 5 on the exterior skin. 2 on the inside of the interior and another 2-3 on the other side. it was such a pain that I fear doing my drivers door now

 

1 layer inside of exterior skin, 1 layer outside of inside interior skin and covered in Sound Blocker.....

I had to stand in the door jamb and put pressure on the panel at the bottom with one foot and hands on the top of panel to get it on....

she's nice and tight.....

 

I had to drop kick mine into place I wish I had saved the "core sample" I had to cut out for the skin pegs to go in. the one was at least a quarter inch thick

 

between the deadener and mat, I'm at a heavy 5/16 and this mat doesn't compress much at all....

 

Ok, Rainbow are done....just got to set my amps tomorrow....Gains and Hi Pass, Low Pass Filters.... fine tuning....

So far, All I can say is......... WOOOOWWWWWW, Man they sound frigging awesome, after they break in, I can't imagine them sounding any better, but everybody saids they will after 10 to 15 Hrs play time... hell, thats going to be unbelievable........

Midbass is just unbelievable, with the Polks, I could pick the sub bass right out... almost point to it... now, sub bass blends so well with these Rainbows, now impossible to point out the sub as it should be...
Tweeter are just clear and crisp, not harsh at all... no ear piercing highs...

My hats off to Bryan for talking me into and hooking me up with these Rainbow speakers......

They are as awesome as you said.... Maybe more......

Bryan, If our paths ever cross, the on me....

 

I'm glad you like them...and, it was my pleasure. You did a great install...in my mind, that's 90% of how they sound right there.

Enjoy...and spread the word. Rainbows are by far the best speakers I've come across.

BTW, let me know what xover setting (on the Germs) you end up with.

 

Will do...maybe a little while, I'm going to let them break in before playing with the jumpers....

BTW.. here is a pic of the speaker well we where looking at....sealed up nice..

 

I still say mount it to the door and trim the plastic
