Where did you guys purchase the Rainbow speakers from?
Ah yes...forgot to mention that. I noticed that the coils were not completely secure to the base so I hit them with a dab of adhesive. Mine never broke loose like that though. I don't think it's specifically related to where you have them mounted. Mine were loose out of the box...a bit of a QC issue.

nothing a couple drops of superglue wouldnt solve.
True. Everyone should be sure to at least add some around the edge before they install just to make sure it stays put.
Amp isn't here yet. I might be able to install next weekend if I find time and motivation.
the sirius unit doesnt put out any kind of heat. any box should be ok on top of it.
Awesome, I'm really anxious to get some feedback on how these sound with some decent ampage on them.
My Rainbows ought to be here any day now... then the only thing left for me to buy is the Amp as well & the sound deadner in the doors.
My system will consist of:
Stock HU (premium 7, 6 CD changer)
JL Cleansweep
Alpine PDX-5 amp
Sound deadner in doors (not sure what type yet, E-dead?)
Custom self made stealth Sub box w/ Elemental Designs SQ10
Hopefully it'll all be worth the time & $ when all is said & done. I've already installed my sub-box & an old kenwood amp I had lying around to power the sub. It's only pushing out 150 RMS bridged, so I'm sure it could use a little more power.
I installed the amp under the drivers seat. I'm still not sure where the best place for the cleansweep will be. I've got the sat radio unit under the passenger's seat. I want to keep it somewhat hidden, yet accessible so that I can access the controls on it if need be. It looks like I could possibly mount it above the sat radio unit & the passengers seat & still have room for the seat to move, but I'm worried about the units overheating being right on top of eachother like that. Any suggestions?
Wow, I'm actually looking at the same type of set up. I'll definitely look forward to hearing your reviews once you have this all installed.
If you can manage to track one down this Blaupunkt PnP adapter it will work to "splice the HU speaker-level output and also route the amplified signal from your new amp back into the factory wiring system. Only probalm I'm havinbg is finding one.
