Cool...too bad they don't have more in stock.

That's an AWESOME price on the PowerLine CS 275.27 set...that's less than I paid.

So the Rainbow SLX 230 for $108 is that per set of mid range and tweeter or is that for a set of two mid ranges and tweeters?

Also is that a good price or can it be found cheaper.

And would that be the rainbow component to go with to replace my audiophile speakers from Ford.

That's for a complete set. I would go with the SLX or CSX 265 sets. Or 230 (if you want a 5.25" set). Too bad they don't have a SLC 265 Kick set...that would be awesome...heck I would buy a set of those for 40% off just to have them.

hmm, so they are good prices then?

Which ones would fit in the stock holes easiest? I'm willing to cave on price a little if it's easier to screw them into the stock mounting spots.

Shoot, I'd go as high as the Rainbow SLC 365 Kick if it was the easiest to mount and that much better then the SLX or CSX 265 sets.

I think you would be happier with a 6.5" mid. You can get adapters for them. Or make one yourself...just make a 5x7 MDF baffle with a 6.5 cutout...it's easy and cheap.

That's a 3-way set. You have a tweeter, midrange driver and a midbass driver. It would be harder to mount all those.

If your willing to spend that much...I can get the SLC 265 Kick set for that.

With the "kick" sets...you have to run a subwoofer though.

oh...then I'll stay away from that. I have the OEM sub, but still...

So it's between:

Rainbow SLX 265 Deluxe - $126

and

Rainbow CSX 265 - $138

Both would be the same size? Sorry I just don't see the sizes on their website.

Yes...they are metric. So a "265" will be a 6.5" midbass driver...a "230" would be a 5.25" midbass driver.

hmm, then throwing in a Rainbow Kraftwerk 4150 (75 watts x 4) amp for $330 plus wire and you start getting spendy.

I realize they're great prices, but I'm stuck on the overall price fence.

Are you going to run an amp to them? If not, just get the 5x7" SLs.

EDIT: Nevermind.


Go with a different amp.
