Thanks Bert! Yes, the Focals and the 7.1 pros are in parallel and sound great together the ARC 692s are on the rear two channels. The base sounds good, But I know it has to get better based on what everyone is saying about these speakers. In my opinion, there should be more depth coming from the rear. I spoke with Mike at Biketronics today and he gave me some tips on setting HPF, but was pretty adamant about using a meter when doing this. what happened to the good old days when folks set their systems to what audibly sounded good to them?

In the video, I had the bass at 3 bars above center and the treble, one bar above center. Last night, I put the Bass on full and it did not make a big difference. There was a another street glide in the garage with a Harley Boom system with six speakers. front fairing, lower and saddlebags. All running on their own channels on 2 300 watt Boom1 amps. The system was no where near as loud as mine, but the depth in Bass was clearly better.

Hey guys, sorry for the delay. This has been a very tough week at work and didn't get much time to get on the forum. So, I figured out the issue, which was two fold.... I was tricked by the speaker connection tabs on the 692, which have a wire with red embedded going to the smaller post.... So, I thought it was positive. Couldn't see any negative/pos indicators and no documentation...
One I switched that, things improved a bit, but not as much as I thought it should. What I found is that these Arc Moto 692's are some power hungry SOBs. I tweaked the gains a bit for the rear channel via the BT355 and then faded everything to the rear and one by one adjusted the HPFs counter clockwise until that warmth that I was looking for hit and Voila!
I will post a "Turn down for what" video to night, but first here's the first first video I took after making the changes.

Thanks man! It's all due to the help that you guys provide. It all started with you and Gan being brutally honest and telling me that my Amp had no *****! LMAO! I'll admit it, I was a little hurt at first because I didn't understand why. However, I kept reading other posts , where you guys helped other folks and then I started to get it. So, Thank you my friend!
Thanks Mike!
