ARC Audio users...Love or Hate it?
Guys/Gals,
Talked to Wayne today, AKA Firecap501.
I'm not too happy with my Biketronics amp.
Considering the ARC Audio amp that Wayne & I talked about.
I'd like to get your opinions on their products.
Good or Bad.
I think Firecap can take it.
Let's hear it???

I've got one of his set ups also.
The setup is very good. It's a bit harder to set up then a "plug and play" system, but not that much. Any "challenges" you run into are more then made up for by the great support that Firecap provides.
In my experience in dealing with Firecap, he also stood behind his product when I blew a speaker. (Most likely through my own goof) He was quick to replace it with no questions asked.
My overall impressions of the system.
Bottom line - It's loud! It's loud enough to make my ears hurt. If I had to "complain" it would be that the sound is a bit more tinny then I care for. I don't think that's a fault of the package. I attribute that more to the 5 1/4" speakers. I intend to run with these speakers for a while but will most likely upgrade them to 6" at a later time. I'm hoping to be able to do this with the same ARC speakers.

My ARC system is great. I went with the seperate tweeter package and it will hurt my ears it gets soo loud but still clear playing. Only regret is I wish I new about the brackets that will let you run the 6.5 speakers in the 5.25 holes because I could really use some more mid-bass.
