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
