Default Arc 600.4 issue.

I just installed a new set of Moto 602s wile I was tuning my gains with a MM I'm only getting 31 volts at max volume with a 1k -5 test tone does that sound right? I did set gains to 24.5 I also installed a new Sony double din. 2014 ultra limited

Also should add that when at 3/4 volume my meter is only hitting at 21 volts with the eq flat and all other features off.

is your max volume level of 31 Volts with the HU set to max volume?
Cause that sounds about right if you set the Gains at 3/4 volume @ 24.5 Volts

I've seen way different readings depending on where I downloaded the test tone from.

I assume the ARC is bridged and you are trying to get 200 watts to them.

Also this thread may help, Or may confuse you not sure

That amp will only do 150 watts in 4 channel mode
So 24.5 Vac will be your max setting per channel
How you get to that is a matter of opinion.
But going beyond the 24.5 VAC at anypoint on the system will be taxing the amp all Speaks @4 Ohm
I:E set HU at ž volume and tune to 24.5 VAC (could get into issues if deck ever goes to full volume) like with AVC turned on

Double check the switches to make sure you have it in 4 Ohms mode.
