Default Arc Audio

Just wondering if any of you guys are using the Arc audio complete kit? And how the quality is. I'm just looking to do the front speakers. I was looking at the biketronics setup also but don't want to spend that much coin unless someone knows where I can get a good deal. Thanks

If you're looking at the arc audio system, go with the J&M rokker system instead. Same amp, better speakers.

Arc amp is cheaper from Arc than JM. If your spending for JM prices you are in the Biketronics range and the BT products in my opion are better. Better system for money (cheaper) would be RF 2 channel amp and Rf or Infinity speakers. I have run Hog Tunes, Arc, and BT 4180. I really like the Bt stuff especially their speakers (HAT's).

BT all the way if anything happens call them and they make it right. If you need any help they will help you threw your question and they sound good. Bt 180 watt 2 channel and 7.1 pros they are un real.

Memo to all guys with TWO speaker systems: If you are only going to run TWO speakers buy the best one's you can afford with a high powered two channel amp. The Two speaker guys Always come back for more. . . Ask me how I know . . . lol

So do you think the BT w/7.1 speakers & 2180 amp will do or what would you recommend?

Had the Arc MPAK 6 and it was a waste of money. Sitting in a box under the workbench now.
