Title: 3 Way comp fitment... advice needed
Post by: dub singh on January 05, 2012, 09:12:06 pm

I've currently got a set of Rainbow SLX 265 (2 Way) components supporting my front soundstage, these will be upgraded shortly for a 3 way setup..

Question is..

How is the midrange mounted? Does it require drilling in? If i remember correctly theres only a hole there with a rubber grommet/cover?
The tweeter and woofer will be simply replaced and mounted on the MDF ring, however im not too sure about the mid-range itself?

Anyone else here who've fitted a 3way setup shed any light?


Cheers

The mid-range speaker is mounted directly to the rear of the door card itself

Mounted on the door card  :confused: Surely that cant be right? If so i would be looking at mounting it on the door itself somehow (let me know if you do this Dub as im doing mine this month  :wink:V)

Yeah its mounted on the door card.. however they need to be very shallow or they dont fit... took absolute ages to get them sitting right...

What 3 ways did you end up going for? Why did you move away from the rainbows?

A move that most will probably frown upon to be honest.. Gone from a SQ setup to more SPL orientated setup..

JBL Power series 3 ways, Vibe bullets speakers, 2 x 12" Orion HCCA's, Stinger SPV70 and a few other LOUD Goodies..
