Rebec’s gear looks awesome and I’ve heard nothing but good things about them. Idk how they’re doing it with their website being junk and virtually no social media marketing. It’s all word of mouth.
They do have good communication on fb - especially for being from Norway right? I don’t think they speak English but they’ll get back to you in 24 hours. I just wish there were some FR graphs for their drivers. Has anyone tried rebec? I know RadekCanada has tried them I think…
GLWS man, very tempting.

Only info is from the guys that are drinking their koolaid and claim they are awesome. Just a heads up. Their dsps are just fancy looking Dayton audio dsp408 so if that’s any sign ….

Rebec ES812 DSP use premium AD converter AK5558 and two DA converters AK4456 same as Helix DSP Ultra. By the way you don’t know how many hi end brands i worked, represent and sold in the past and this brand can compete and destroy many of those fancy names.

I jus sold this same 3 way to a local guy in my town and I've listened to everything from focal to scanspeak and I am not exaggerating that for the money you will not find a better sounding 3way pound for pound the best out there and yes i know there's not alot of info on them but give them a try and see for yourself

Yeah, I would stay away.
I don't think they're from Norway. There is a lot of Mandarin writing on their home page. If you go to their frequently asked question and contact page, there is no way to contact them and the address posted doesn't exist.
The frequently asked question gives the same answer to each question in Latin "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean id convallis tellus. Nulla aliquam in mi et convallis. Pellentesque rutrum feugiat ante ut imperdiet. Vivamus et dolor nec nisl consectetur vulputate id non ante. Try deciphering that in google translate. I Google their address, and dozens of web pages came up, all having the same frequently asked question page with the same answers to questions in Latin. Whomever these people are, they have hundreds of web pages set up and ready to go for all types of online businesses.

Yup..shouldn't have to dig so deep to get info for $500 3 ways. Doesn't smell right...they may be good sounding drivers, but if I were to buy speakers in that price category, I want to be able to at least read some performance specs, and have somewhere to call. It's like walking into a Casino and throwing $500 on Black

There’s a way to contact and became serious dealer, not for purchasing for your own build.
I’m Dealer and Rebec still patience, waiting for the correct Shop/person to become USA Dealer.

Dont talk **** if you dont know about the brand dude, i have this 3 way in my car and is nothing short of excellent, let alone for the price. The Rebec distributor is from Norway who is SQ champ using only Rebec product. The only ones drinking koolaid are the ones paying over 1k focal drivers when everyone know they underperform for the price lol. Why do you think there is a lot of Focal utopia for sale, people just buy the when they realized they get rid of it. There is no reason to bash a brand you know nothing about.
Ok, I think they will need to set the record in patience then....Who in their right mind would want to become a Dealer? Here is my line of thinking....Lets start with the fact that there is no where a potential customer can go to get any information at all on these Speakers...Even if there is some info out there somewhere, you shouldn't have to look so hard to find the bread crumbs... If they are an SQ driver/equipment manufacturer that is looking to penetrate a well established competitive market, there should at a minimum be information readily available. How can a company build, market, sell, sign up Dealers, and support a $500 set of drivers, when they don't even allocate enough funds to develop and maintain a website, which is pretty much the least expensive part of a business overhead. That being said...if they are not investing the $1000 per month for a basic website...what does the rest of the business model look like...Forget about the R&D and support budget/investment...shouldn't have to look so hard to find OZ behind the curtain on this one!...No disrespect meant here at all...this is just using a 3 minute business acumen, while looking down from 10000 feet, and the crop circles are as clear as day!... IMHO

I agree with you, Rebec page is in the early stages and doesnt spark interest on possible customers and there is a lot to improve in the marketing, specs and distribution. Having said that, for the price @boricua69 is selling the 3 way is a no brainer imo. We had a friend who had morel virtus 3 way which is almost $800 and when he switched to this RS2.3 the difference it was just night and day in favor of Rebec RS2.3. So if anyone is looking for a solid 3 way this is the one to get for less that $800 range.
Hey...are you running the RS2's? Even if they are no established here, dont care. I am always looking to check out something different. What impedance are they and how do they handle being pushed? Regardless of the company fundamentals I still want to learn about these and maybe try a set. They look well built but cant find anything on them... always good to hear first hand install...do you have any specs, or know where I can look them up?

Yes im running the RS2.3 and they are impressive. I will try to get the parameters for you soon. I have another friend who is a SQ competitor/judge Felipe Saldivar (look it up in FB) also running rebec in his car. Rebec us very prominent in Norway, Thailand and other eastern countries, not much in America yet besides Mexico.
cool..thanks

Yes, I see through their Facebook page. The philosophy page state Rebec was started in 2009. Since launch, they have "won the title of » HI-FI » fever audio brand issued by professional organizations, winning the top ten car audio brands, «Outstanding Independent Brand of the Year» and «Consumer Satisfaction Brand.». Whatever that means.
Yet, there is no presence of the company before 2019.Everything I have seen says this is a Chinese company, not Norweigan. There is nothing wrong with being a Chinese company, but I suspect these are Build House off the warehouse rack product with a name slapped on them. Majority of their product resembles the top Sq car audio brand products. You will not find TS parameters for their drivers unless you test them yourself because everything about them screams of the shelf Build house products.
boricua69 Why are you not the correct person to take the brand to America?

Yes is a Chinese company, the distributor is in Norway. They have the patents of their products and as you said they have won many awards in Asia as a high quality product. Rebec is a brand from Baifu, a corporation who has made ODM speakers for many recognizable brands and in 2009 they decided to make their own brand.
