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.

BT4180, BT7.1 Pros, Focal 165 KRCs, Arc Moto 692s - YouTube
Nice! Sounds good!

System sounds great Bro!! These guys on this forum are awesome!
Thanks Bro! Again, can't thank you enough!
