I think I'll say Rainbow. Move Polk to the bottom and that's about my ordering. Though all of them are good.

Focal K2p's are sweet. The Boston's are nice too, but to me the Focals sounded a bit nicer when i listened to the 2. Haven't listened to the other 2

100WRMS to 200WRMS to a channel. Brand doesn't matter as long as it's not Pyramid, Pyle, Boss, etc. I can give you some specific recommendations for amps if you give me a budget.

i have polk/momo components and i love them, but im looking at switching to the SR series when it comes time to replace the momo's, i hear they are much better quality than the momo series "Which is unbelievable to me lol"

i gotta say i get compliments as to the all around clarity and loudness to the Polk/momos all the time, if you have a chance to hear them for yourself i think you will be rather impressed

and keep this in mind the Polk SR Series is supposed to blow the Momo's away in clarity and loudness lol

You'd get compliments with any of the above, if installed correctly.

I love the old Boston Rally's those were my first subs. had 2 12's. still have them, but one has a broken connection and the other one a water jug fell on it so it's misaligned now, both are fixable but don't have the time.

i've got Boston Z's in the front and i love them. i've never heard Rainbow, but i'm not a big Polk fan. infact, i really dont like the way they sound. as far as Focal goes, i heard there Polykevlar comps after i bought my Z's and they sounded good, but not THAT good. i'm glad i went with my bostons. i'd also look into MB Quart if i were you. just my 0.02 cents.
