[QUOTE="harriolo, post: 8870640, member: 690931"] I’m in the process of changing my audio system in a car I’ve just bought. I’ve bought a Pioneer ts-wx12108 sub. I’m just deciding between the car door speakers. It’s between the Rainbow EL-C260E and the Alpine S2-S65. Worth noting my mechanic whose going to install it will do me a deal on the Rainbows if I decide to go for them so they will be cheaper. The Kenwood has a better peak power (240) rms power (80 watt) and impedance (4ohm) but worse frequency response (55hz-40hz) The rainbow has worse peak power (120) rms power (60watt) and impedance 2.8ohm but better frequency response 60hz-20hz I listen to a wide range of music but do listen to a lot of bass heavy stuff (but I feel like the sub should cover that) Anyway would be great to know if you guys have any experience with either/ have thoughts on which I should go for? Is there really that much of a difference between them? bc the rainbow would cost me a fair bit less Link to the Alpine and Rainbow [URL]https://www.alpine.com.au/shop/speaker-systems/s-series-speakers/s2-s65/[/URL] [URL]https://frankiesautoelectrics.com.au/product/rainbow-el-c260e-2-way-6-5-165mm-component-set[/URL] [/QUOTE]
