I talked to Dave @ Mmats. He said the 4110 would be plenty to power the AA's @ 4 ohms.
2 questions
1 Do you think I should maybe go with different speakers from the 602's?
2 Do you think there would be a better choice of amp?
btw my 2nd set of speakers are mid bass 4 ohm. They do require a little less power than the Arc's

Right on brother!

If I was Dave at Mmats I would have told u the same because ur purchase keeps the roof over Dave's head. That's just very bad guidance by Dave imho. 110 Watts ain't gonna cut it for the ARC 602s on a sled.

What he probably should have told u is that the amp will not be good for those AAs howeverI can make u a great deal on the 4110 and the Mmats PA coax. Which is a pretty good combo.

If u can get some more headroom out of a different amp I would chase that unicorn first. Then dive deep on replacing those AAs as we have come a long way with some great sounding AND efficient coaxes.

Just don't buy anything till ur certain the 2 items will pair well together.

Again, cannot go wrong with the Mmats 601cx. If u have some cash budgeted, Euphoria has some nice damn stuff that has come out in their Xpert line.

What's the difference between the PA601cx and the PA601 ?
And which would be better in your opinion.

One is a coax and one is just a woofer thus the freq range u will get out of it. If u have a high performance coax that u can put in a speaker hole, I would take that coax all day long unless u r specifically targeting what the woofer can deliver. 601CX is the coax model and a nice speaker on a sled.

A question pops in to my head. Since audio is not my forte, "if I have CF6.5 as 1 pair, and the Arcs as my 2nd pair,both require 2 different power levels. Correct"? Can this be achieved from the same amp? Do I need to choke the pair that needs less power? Should I just replace the Arcs and be done with it?

As long as your amp has sea parade gain adjustments for the different channels then yes.

So I decided to add the fairing lower speakers. Changed the amp to a 4 channel.
Now, do I have to get the radio flashed ?
Do I have to use the line levelers?
If I have to flash it, which flash should I be looking at?
15 Streetglide Special.

You do not need to flash it. Get a front BT 355 line leveler and a set of RCA splitters.

If you are running the Mmats 4110, you don't even need an rca spliter. just run it in 2 channel input and you will have 4 channel output. just no fade.
