Advice:
The high power loudspeaker outputs of popular headunits will be advertised with high wattage. These
power ratings are marketing figures normally. Our loudspeaker products have a high sensitivity and can
be driven directly from the headunit with at least 2 x 12 Watt RMS. Generally however we recommend
using an amplifier to be able to use the full dynamic range of the loudspeakers.
Rainbow Sound Line loudspeakers are high-quality car audio systems that can be used with any
commercial amplifier. For optimal sound reproduction in the vehicle we recommend the use of a linear
amplifier with at least 50 Watts of power. The excellent efficiency of the loudspeakers makes possible an
enormous dynamic range, which is fully appreciable even at the lowest performance levels.
Auto-specific tuning and the usage of select parts in the crossovers are characteristics that define our
Sound Line. Thermal protection as well as level adjustment within the high tone range are just as
standard as the fundamental 12 dB coupling of the individual loudspeakers.
In order to ensure the system complements your vehicle interior, we offer you the option of specifying
loudspeaker covers to your desired color before installation.
Rainbow loudspeakers may be installed in your vehicle in a variety of places. In determining the
installation location the following information should be considered:
Woofers require a large area for optimum sound reproduction. Car doors with a large air cushion
between the door lining and external metal or the rear windshield deck of an auto with a large trunk are
ideal locations. In some vehicles designated speaker locations in the instrument panel, doors, rear sides,
and rear windshield deck offer the necessary minimum area.
The installation location of the tweeter must, as with the woofer, fit freely into the available designated
area or in a newly chosen area, in order that an unencumbered radiation of sound is possible. Before
installation, the mechanical installation possibilities, with consideration given to acoustical expectations,
should be reviewed. In order to find the best placement for the tweeter to achieve optimal sound
reproduction, installation should proceed after installation of the woofer/midrange as follows:
• Attach tweeter, over the accompanying crossovers or over a suitable crossover, to the amplifier
using long cables in order to permit a free radius of action at the selected location.
• Set the system into operation and insert appropriate CD. This selects the volume in such a way that
the tweeter is not overpowered by the mid- and low-tone range.
