are you using just 1 Arc Audio amp for both pairs of Focal speakers??
I am getting ready to do that level IV system from Pete at soundcustomz also this winter but was contemplating the Arc Audio 4 channel amp instead, as I might add vented lowers later on, or 2 - 2 channel amps, 1 amp for each set of Focals.

Hello, don't mean to hijack but how do the Focals compare to the J&M 7.25 XT's? I am also about to upgrade and I am currently sold on the J&M's. I will be changing out the fairing speakers and passenger pod speakers on my Ultra. Thanks for the info.

I listened to everything J&M had at their truck during Bike Week and nothing sounded better then the focals with an amp
but I do not know how they compare on price
the focal system I went with was not cheap, and not top of the line either
4 speakers and the amp installed for $1500
not sure what the combo you are currently looking at is going to cost you
if I only went with the fairing speakers and no lowers it would have been $1k, but wow do the lowers really add some nice sound
now a buddy of mine went with the level just below mine with Focal PC165 and he is extremely happy, right up to the point when I pull up
that is a quote from him, I love mine, until I hear yours and then I know what it is supposed to sound like
so it really depends on what you are looking for
I can hear my tunes crystal clear at 80 with the stock windshield on my SG
they sound amazing, but they should for $1500 and if you add the price of the lowers I have over $2k in my tunes on this bike and that is with the factory head unit, but it doesn't matter cause I love it and don't care what others think, but so far others have thought it rocked

tried to
but you didn't come back to Daytona so even though it's the same system you guys put in, the business went to Pete cause he was there.
In fact he did my system and my buddy's which was the 4 speaker set up with the Focal PC165 and ARC amp and I went with the Focal 165KRC and ARC amp
In addition to our systems, Pete and his dad were busy from sun up to way after sun down and by Sun morning had sold out of everything they had on the trailer
you guys really missed out by not showing up

Damn! The J&M setup I am looking at will be around $750. I've got a email into Pete and see what he says. Thanks for all the info!
