Rainbow Audio Components IQ Line - Speakers?

Does anyone on this list have any experience with this brand of speakers?

$554 for the kit sounds a little steep - but they make some huge claims.

Just wondering if I should buy this.

THANKS

I installed the Rainbow SLC265s in my beater and absolutely love them!!! I used to have MB Quarts, but their tweeters were just too harsh for my ears. In fact, I ordered it from IQC as well, but man...there were so many issues with them!

I agree that the price is steep. Its a component system with a cross over network. Nice but nonetheless, car audio has the highest margin in all consumer electronics.
I can bet that this esoteric line is made by another company anyhow. I would look at Rockford and others for less.
Bose is another company that everyone knows but they are nowhere a high end quality speaker system. The company wont even print specs. Why? The name sells period and they are the best marketing company I have ever seen.
