i would probaly just get 2 medium subs like the elevation audio pro 12"s those will fit in about anything and get a decent amp to run them and get rid of the abahns and get a decent front stage like u were talking.

rainbow's top end components are ten grand per set.
rainbow in the US is all handled by Alumapro dealers now, and I don't believe they sell online.

I'd get SEAS Excel raw drivers and do a DIY before I would pay 10gs for Rainbow References. Sure, I may not have crossovers with Kimber Kable in them, but the same drivers for $9000 less, add the cost of a good active crossover, sign me up, baby!

The drivers are even nearly the same in specs, main difference is the cosmetics. If I remember correctly the 6.5" midbass is in the .35 Qts range, can we say Aperiodic midbass drivers :D
