I had a feeling that was the reason. Yes I have a TN4.900 bridged to my Arc 692's.

So here the toss up Biketronics 7.1's with the 4180 amp or arc moto 600.4 and 602's which will sound best? I will say the BT plug and play part with not needing to play with adjustments is a plus but i'm not worried if i need to play with it!

I had the same dilemma. Liked the no-fuss of the bt amp. And I liked what others had to say about the arc 602 speakers which are more expensive and have less warranty than the bt speakers. No reason why you cant mix it up between those brands

Yes that's the only location I have right now bags or lowers later on. Trying to decide on the 602's or focals which will give the deepest rich sound?

Ask around a bit before pulling the trigger on the 602s. Good speaker, but for me it's just not a core front stage speaker.
