I keep going back and forth in my mind between a complete BT setup or using the Arc 600.4 with the Moto 602's and buying the breakout harness and line levelers and speaker brackets from BT. No need for an amp tray is intriguing too. Two quick ?'s....your general thoughts and is a flash required w the Arc setup if using BT levelers?

Loud! Warmth with the right speakers....other speakers, not so much. I love it! But that's me.

Comparing the 4v2 and the 4180 are 2 fully different animals. Especially power. The Arc has proven itself time and time again. If my new Mosconi doesn't cut it ( sure it will) I will buy another arc in a heartbeat. The 4180 is also a great amp as well. I want input gain control so I don't like the 4180 for that reason. If Mike will ever some day add gains to their amp lineup as an option, I would love to run one.

Amen bro!!!! If the 4180 had ***** on it I would run that thing all day long. The lifetime warranty is probably the closest alligator to the boat for BT Mike thus protecting us from ourselves and BT. So if ur listening Mike I would care less about anything more than an industry standard warranty agreement for a 4180 with *****.
A 6180 with ***** that fits on the amp tray, would be an absolute game changer for the sled audio industry.

I am. But it is also the only amp I have ran in my sled, so I have nothing to compare to.

Not gonna lie I would prefer to have gain controls/***** if you will as well like my exsisting SS. But Im looking for a powerful like 150X4 @ 4ohms type of amp with good clean power, Retains FM/AM stations, Fits in a Batwing Fairing, With a good price point? Lifetime warranty would be a plus but we all know the answer to that one!

Arc 600.4 is the exact amp to fit the needs you want.

The 4180 is awesome. My concern is...
because of the 4180 having preset crossover points...
Will I get enough low end out of the DD Aw's once installed? I don't wanna leave much of that mid bass warmth on the table.
