If you are going to put anything in the fairing, I'd put the horn as my top choice. The BT30 is also wider by quite a bit and it makes hard to get it all on a flat surface on the fairing.

Thanks guys for all your sharing and being bold enough to try the new stuff and new ideas to save the rest of us all of the grief (and cost) of doing it wrong.

Good luck! Every time I think I'm getting it and have a great setup someone steps farther outside the box and it starts all over.

Well I did call Mike at BT today. He was nice enough to give me some info for setting it back to stock and offered for me to send it to him and he would do it. Unfortunately my dmm isn't capable of measuring as precise as needed and I had no luck borrowing one locally so I went to option B. Played a song I'm familiar with and tweaked the hpf until I heard nothing funky. Then ran a 1k tone and balanced the outputs on the line leveler gains at 1vac. Then set my gains on the amp at 24vac with the bike off. Started the bike and now the gains are 26vac front and rear. So for whatever reason my gains are changing from off to run. So I then set them back to 23 with it running and it sounds pretty good. I'll post a vid tomorrow

i thought so too but I was told the arc 600.4 puts the same out at 12or 14.4 so it should have been the same. No clue why it's not

Most amps are speced out at 14.4v for full output but will operate in a variety of input voltages from 11.5v to 14.5v

The power supply on the Arc is different than most amps. It does rated power at 2 or 4 ohms where other amps often see a change in output. Similar to the JL HD 600/4 the Arc "should" do rated power between 12-14v. Now 1v input is pretty low for headunits these days where the lowest is double that so perhaps that has something to do with it.

If you read the pas mag review on both the xdi and the moto. Both amps put out tad lower @ 12v in 4 ohm stereo. 2 ohm and bridged 12v and 14v are the same. It is strange but what I see is that on a lighter load the amp doesn't boost the rail voltage like it does on the heavier loads at 12v. On both Review they were a tad over 100w 4 ohm stereo @ 12v.
