Speaker and amp set up help needed
Here's the set up.
2016 Street Glide Special stock 6.5 HU
BT Line leveler
Arc Moto 602 front speakers
Jl 280/4 bridged pushing 150 per speaker
Switch on AP freq at 80
I was told and read that this should make my ears bleed
My question is I have the amp set on 2 channel with one set
Of Rcas. I feel it should be louder. I get good clean sound at 14 clicks. Should I be splitting the Rcas and
Running the amp on 4 channel? Will this help or hurt?

If you split the rca you will be running two channel still but in stereo if you leave speaker wires as is.Jl on that amp has great pictures make sure you follow directions. I have not found ear bleeding sound yet and have no current plans of installing horns to get there.2cts

Makes no difference other than going from a mono input to stereo. All you gain is left and right balance. Will not do ANYTHING else.

The 602s are my favorite coax speaker but they do need power to wake them up due to the lower sensitivity as slye said. 150W should get them fairly loud, but they really start cranking around 200W. I'm not familiar enough with the JL amp to know if it will get you that kind of clean power or not.

If you have "AP" or all pass, it's irrelevant what frequency you have it cut off at because the switch is set at AP. You aren't crossing them over. Click it to HP and you will have an 80Hz crossover
