Default Just got my system done!! The RainbowPro Extrems are SOOO NICE =)

I put 6.5 Rainbow Pro Extreme components in the front and Focal PolyKevlar2s 6.5s in th rear (because I didnt have enough money for another set of rainbows in the back). Powering them with a 4 chanel arc audio amp. Let me tell you...the difference is amazing. The rainbow really just sound that much better. I think when I save up enough money I'm going to put rainbows in the back too. As or subs, I put one 12inch JLw3 powered by PPI amp. The rainbow pro extreme series sound very close to the FOCAL Utopias. I personally think the focal have better tweeters but the Rainbow deinately have better midbass.

Default The utopias are very nice, but the rainbw pro extreme vadium series ...

has more midbass. They arn't cheap, retailed at about $800 a set. Check out ampman.com they sell arc and rainbow audio stuff there. My friend works at arc/rainbow audio so he hooked me up with 30% off =) I can probably help you guys get the same discount too...just not too much (such as $3000 worth of equipment). As for the Focal PK2s, they are pretty decent. Nothing like the Utopia or Rainbow Pro extremes =) email me if you want the rainbows...

Default If you can really get that discount then I'm interested in a set of Pro Extreme 2-way 5.25"

Let me know what you can get. That be a damn good deal with 30% off ampman's prices.
