I'm running two 5.25's and two 4's in my fairing with the ARC amp and it sounds excellent. For the price they are a bargain. Even got my kid a set of 6.5's for his car, he's happy

I have had the ARC 6.5 speakers and ARC mini amp for just over a year and a half. I really do like them and have had no problems. I'm able to hear them at any speed and they are clear. I have a Kenwood KDC X493 radio in which i use the flash drive to down load all my music instead of listening to the radio. If you can get the ARC speakers at a good price i would say go for it.

The Arc is great little amp. I've had my Arc mini over 2yrs in two different bike fairings with no issues. Ive tried lots of speakers but finally found Focal speakers suited me. If your on a budget I'd recommend Infinity Kappa 62.9's or 63.9's lot of bang for buck. Good luck!
