I am helping a buddy put together a budget system. He has one of my Lunar High Currents 60x2 (under rated) for the components and an Xtant 250w mono amp on a 10" IDV3 sub. The head unit is an Alpine 9886. We are trying to find the best components we can get for $200 or less. Was looking at these. Thanks for any info.

Rainbow SLX 265 DELUXE $180.00

We can get these for under 100$

You can also get Alpine Type-X for around $200 online. course, if you want a warranty you should buy from a store.

have you listened to the Pioneer comps yet?

Nah, I was kinda hoping someone could give me some input on how those pioneers sound. I assume those Rainbows are no good? I will check on the Type X comps and I also found a set of Morel Tempo 6's for sale for ~ 200.00.

I would go with entry level Morel over Alpine or low end Rainbow. Mainly because I haven't found a Rainbow dealer yet and I won't buy speakers I cannot audition.

I've liked just about every Morel driver i've heard.

Thanks, I passed this info on to him. I am really thinking of ditching my Focal set for some Morel Hybrid Ovations. The focal have just been a pain to tune.

The Focal's take some work to tune, but are worth it 100%. KP2's for me are really the lowest I would go for Focal. \:\)

For 200.00... Look at the Hertz Speakers, PG Xenon, Exile Audio, Morel and the JL (Or TMA) Line of your choosing. \:\)

Here are a few to look at and get some ideas. Some are a little more than $200, but not that much more. If you want something bad enough, I'm sure your friend will save up and get em. All are pretty decent comp sets.

We ended up with some rainbow SLC 265 Kick's for about 180$. Hopefully these sound good.
