Rainbow Car Audio

[Trav33]

Has anyone installed Rainbow speakers in their skylines?

Just saw George @ Adelaide Pro Sound, heard a lot of good things about them.

I have 10 year old stock crappy speakers that crackle and pop, and only one front speaker works!

Chris - is it true there are only 3 dealers who sell Rainbow audio gear in Australia?

[Chris Rogers]

What set of splits would you recommend, preferably around $600, but up to $1000 if there is a noticable difference in sound quality. Music listened to is mostly nice clear vocals, some pop, some dance, some accoustic, bit of everything.

Would it be a set of Rainbows? If so, what ones?

CS265 Profi, about $900?

Is the CS265 Profi Kick Bass worth an extra $80? What does the 'kick bass' mean?

How do the Profi line sound compared to the Sound Line range?

I think ill be the most qualified to answer that question considering i have installed and listened to the entire Rainbow range up to the Power series.

I have also installed and auditioned their complete range of woofers.

If i didnt think they got the goods, why would i spend $30k on a TT Supra and decide to order full RAINBOW set up consisting of splits and subwoofers, run of Sinfoni amplifiers and pay out of my own pocket. Normally i would have accepted the free equipment which was offered to me from various distributors but i choose to pay for class.

There are strict commercial agreements that us dealers have with the distributors thats why there is a dealer in every state and there will be no INTERNET SALES.

Trav the quality of Rainbow is well known and the distributor only wants one dealer per state that can actually install and support the product.

Hey George,

I don't disagree with you re the Quality of Rainbow gear, and I WILL be buying rainbow speakers from you, just not sure on the particular model yet.

I like to do my research using multiple sources, and speak to different people about things, to get a range of opinions & experiences. It's a bit hard to get those opinions though, because of the exclusivity of the product, and limited market share.

That's why i've asked some questions here, which I agree you would be the most qualified to answer - When I see you I'll talk rainbow rainbow rainbow with ya - but seeing what other people say too!

[Adelaideprosound]

Research away my friend .

Perhaps the best place to ask would be the European car audio forums .

There will be another 3 dealers coming on board very soon, Audio Express i.e. Chris will be one of them, the other two are Phatt Audio Concepts in Victoria and Motoquipe in Noarlunga in South Australia.

The retailers details will go up once we have received their account applications sign sealed and delivered agreeing to our trading terms and conditions.

I guess you can always ask George to get maybe a car or two that hes installed Rainbow's in and have a listen for yourself?

By all means, buy why you feel is right for you and your budget, might be or might not be Rainbow, but George can help you out as I'm sure he has more than Rainbow he can demo for you.

Will all Motorquipe stores start Retailing the products, or just the one outlet? Seems unusual that a Motorquipe outlet would sell high-end audio gear, i thought they would sell the more popular pioneer / soundstream stuff?

[Mobile Fidelity]

Only the one, it's the only inderpendant store which we will deal with at present.
