MK5 Speakers

[TDIESEL]

Anyone had any experience or opinions of Rainbow speakers?

I stumbled across their site http://www.rainbow-audio.de/ whilst looking for replacement speakers for my Mercedes. Turns out their IQ line of speakers are specifically manufactured for certain vehicles and found that the MK5 Golf is one of them. The review seemed pretty good so thought I would share my discovery here.

I've ordered a set of IQ ones for my Merc and will let you all know how they go when they finally arrive.

Rainbow speakers are very good, i have seen that the make the IQ range where it's a direct replacement for factory gear, really is a plug and play solution.

Just got notification from post office that the IQ speakers I ordered for my Mercedes have arrived and ready to pick up..can't wait to see what difference they make and how easy they are to drop in.

Speakers are in

Very easy drop in install and difference in sound is amazing. Brilliant clarity and no harshness at all. Very happy with my purchase!!!

must say the rainbows do have a very refined sound indeed...

the more 'upmarket' brands such as rainbow, dynaudio etc etc are definitley easier to get a excellent sound coming from them with minimal EQ adjustments, however this of course comes with the higher price tag...

good to hear your happy with them, enjoy the music!

This is where I got my Rainbow speakers from www.extremeaudio.de This place also has an ebay store but I found their online shop prices cheaper than the ones on ebay (probably due to listing fees etc).
Couldn't find anywhere in OZ to supply the ones I want so had to import them myself. Delivery took about 2 weeks.

35 Euro's which works out to be around $70 AUD.

Are you aware that there is a Rainbow distributor in New Zealand, if not, there is... You can Jump into a Paul's Audio (not sure of the store name) and make the enquiry...

May I ask what you paid for in AUD for the speakers including delivery? Bet it was more than we offer them for here...

Hey Mobile Fidelity,

yeah i do know there is paul's Audio, and indeed i know the Rainbow importer too.

But they do not stock the IQ Series, it's a order in item only, therefore i might as well import it myself.

Thanks for letting me know.

Roughly $420..give or take a few. That was for both front and rears.
You should start adverting on the internet if you can stock or get rainbow speakers. Google rainbow speakers and see how many Australian sites come up.

How does that price compare to what you could do them for?
