I am shopping for some 6.5" components speakers to be powered by my Xtant 404m that I am soon to get. Anyway, I ran across these and they seemed to be a real good price for a company that I have always heard makes amazing components. Could they just be a lower quliaty line of Rainbows?

Item number 250036516407 if the link doesn't work.

How do you think they would compare to JL XR650-CSI?

Any other component sets you could recommend for me? I really don't want to spend much more than $150. Thanks!

Yes those are low end Rainbow's. Even being low end they are still very nice. The JL's sound great also. SQ is totally a prefference that only you can decide which you like better. Some are harsh and loud and some are soft and smooth it's all what you want.

yupbut again it's all prefference as to what is smooth and what is Harsh. Typically silk tweet's are softer and titanium are harsher.

For a complete component set that is a good price.. Infinity perfect components normally run more than that.. iI'm not sure on ebay because I've never looked on there for those.. I'll soon be looking for two sets of components and a new amp to replace my old component sets and amp..

Ok cool, either that or I found some CDT ones for real cheap as well what do you think of these for the price?

I thought they were real cheap. I thought I always remember people talking about the CDT Neo's were REALLY good. As you can tell I don't know a whole lot about components, it's all pretty new to me. So out of those three which woul dbe the best for the money? Thanks James!

Isaac, don't buy off ebay, talk to 6spdcoupe on caraudio.com authorized dealer and can tell you anythng you would want to know about Rainbow Products.

i'd say the Dreamlines are below the XR's. you need to step up to the SLC's at least.

i have the Profi Vanadium 3 ways :-)

So you think I should get the XR's instead of the rainbows, Brandon? What about the other 2 CDT auctions I have listed? Thanks!

either ones you go with for the price you are paying are going to sound good. How much are the JL's?

^^^ James I am watching a auction right now that ends tomorrow. It is currently 76.00 with 20 dollar shipping. I think it will probably end in the 150s or so.

So you think that the CDT CL-62/61's would be good for 125 shipped? I might just wait out the XR auction and maybe I can snag them for a good price. If nto go after the CDTs.

Hey Renegade, how much are we talking for those Arc ACS-265s?

I have never heard the Arc's but have heard nothing but good thing's about them. The CDT's are a good deal also. All of the speakers you are talking about are in the same class except for the xr's being a notch above the rest but not by much.
