Arc 600.4 help!
So I was out riding today and my sound would go out for a few seconds, if I turned the volume down it would come back on. Amps new and the gain is set only 1/4 of the way. Only powering Milli 6.5's up front. I did turn the gain up on my Bt line leveler can that be causing a issue.

Cave man style solution (my specialty):
Pop the hood and first make sure u did not confuse the Gains for the HPF. The HPF is on the flat top part of the LL where the yellow stickers are. Make sure those are set exactly on the default lines.
The gains are on the end and first turn those all the way to the left or counter clockwise. Turn the sled on acc and get your favorite song playing at 3/4 volume. Keep in mind that u won't hear shix because the gains are all the way down. Slowly turn the gains up to anywhere between the 12:30 to 1:30 position where u will probably hear some speaker distortion w ur favorite song playing. Turn the gains back down a tad and u should be good to go.
If that does not work, u might have other issues, like blowed up speakers.

He's got an Arc 600.4.....
you need to set your gains on the amp, not the LL. I did one of these not too long ago. Also make sure you battery is charged. I would leave BT355 in the stock position and adjust the gains on your amp, that's what they are there for! If you have a DMM, use the sticky on the homepage to figure out your voltage. For that amp it should be around 24 volts with the bike running. Set your HPF around 60-80hz and let it rip.

For us" without "the stock Rushmore units we can do whatever. I tend to overlook that bin file crap on the Rushmore units that need the bike on, or does the line leveler prevent that period.

Thanks for all the info, I did turn the gains up on the LL not the hpf. I'm going to put the LL back to the stock setting and the adjust the gain on my amp. The only reason I touched the gain on my LL was because before I touched it I had to turn my amp gain to just pass half way to start getting decent sound and volume, I thought that was kind of high and I wasn't getting good sound. With the LL gains up and the amp gain lower it does sound good but shuts down.
