I thought Arc was supposed to be one of the better amps? I currently have a Power Acoustics I'm taking out.

So I take it you guys think it would work better with 4 ohm speakers? What ones would be good without breaking the bank?

The ARC amp is a cleaner amp than the power acoustic. Also the ARC is normally under rated to the specs.
If set up and tuned properly I would think it should power the Kappas with respective power.

I'd keep the Kappas and get a SS pn4.1000. That amp will drive the Kappas to the brink and really wakes them up.
