So the speakers were MC also? I have never really heard anything good about them.
We have a shop here in San Diego called LaJolla audio and basically they take your card and install the system in your lamborgini, porche or ferrari and never really mind the prices. After sitting in a couple of their demo vehlicles I was blown away (utopia/dynaudio) installs. However, Rainbow Refs made those installs sound average. I was tuning mine for 2 weeks and I have another 2 weeks to finish tuning...very hard that is.

About my earlier post re: Zapco and ARC, et al............
Time did tell - ARC cars got smacked around by the Zapco cars at the IASCA finals. Also, the big Rainbow Reference car got smoked by the Focal Cars (Rick McCallum vs. Bill Acevedo) Also, I know that the Rainbow mids were removed from the vehicle and replaced with ID mids virtually in the judging lanes. So, you tell me, was I right or was I right............
On a related topic, the big Dynaudio car at finals (Phil Petracca, also Zapco car) smoked the Big amatuer/expert Focal car of Mike Peterson (formerly an expert world champion car)

As far as midbasses go. I was actually the one who suggested rick to swap them for IDs. Speakers are all about application. His doors were not ideal for those speakers, thats why he swapped them to IDs. In my doors those same speakers sound much much better.
