Settings help

I just got an arc xdi 600.4 to replace my pn1000.4. I'm running dd6.5 fronts with tweeters in a 2ohm line. And hogtune lids and 6x9's.

Any advice on setting my gains?

Thanks

To get the best reply info, I'd recommend you go back and modify your original post to include ALL the specifics you can come up with. What bike, what DDs, Line Levelers, what 6X9 etc......
Also read thru Matt's sticky about setting gains.
Hope this helps you to get the best feedback.

It's a 2014 FLHXS. Biketronics kit. Kenwood x998 head unit. No line levelers. Last time I did the math I believe I did it wrong and dont want to blow the amo or speakers.

You need the BT line levelers on that set up.

nbdzhro ,,,

I think that some type of RCA input adapter or line leveler should be used with the Arc 600 or any other brand aftermarket amplifier.

there are quite a few available including B/Tronics and J&M.

which year model is your Harley?

ND,

With the 998 you won't need a converter just plug a set of RCA's to the amp. That amp does rated so you'll want a 1000hz test tone and set the amp to 24.7vac. HPF should be between 80 and 100. That radio does not put out a distorted signal even at max so you are ok to set it up high in the volume. I normally set it around 32-33 with that radio. Oh and set it at 4ohm, not 2.
