CALICO 130 Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Rainbow are quality speakers but would sound alot better run off an amplifier i run speaker wires from my amp to the front tweater then use the standard cables from there to the door speakers even a cheap amplifier £30 from ebay would be better than most head units as they are usuallly about 12 -15watts rms http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Amplifier-Boschmann-PCH-8800LX-600W-/160503289232?pt=UK_Audio_TV_Electronics_In_Car_Entertainment_GPS_Car_Amplifiers_PP&hash=item255ebdd590http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Alpine-Car-Amplifer-MRV-T500-/130454259694?pt=UK_Audio_TV_Electronics_In_Car_Entertainment_GPS_Car_Amplifiers_PP&hash=item1e5fae07eeboth cheap both would sound alot better than head unit Link to post Share on other sites

jimmyb 2 Posted November 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 thanks for the links the last link is very helpful, my headunit is 4x58w and my oem speakers sound terrible if its turned up quite high that was the reason i wanted to sort some speakers that can handle it,these are the ones i bought http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/3977.html and also a set of kx165`s (same dimensions) they should be here tomorrow so i can fit them and hope they fit with no problems*fingers crossed*,lol,then all i will need is a set of tweeters for the front as mine have had it.
