Quite the price difference between retail cost. I would stay away from it.

I have two rainbow components and none of them have serial numbers on the speakers themselves, only on the box. They look real, that is the way the crossover is suppose to be. Slap them in and enjoy.

Here is what I got from the deck. All EQ settings are set at 0db. Bass: 200hz Bass Q Factor: 1.0 Middle Center: 2.5khz Middle Q Factor: 1.25 Treble Center: 12.5khz HPF: Through LPF: 85hz Sub Phase: Normal Supreme: ON

Sounds good, I will post those pictures. I appreciate your help man.

Yeah lol, that is over my head when I got into the settings. Amp sounds better than the soundstream, especially with "s" sound. Doesn't sound scratchy. Getting car noise now with this amp. Say my budget is 500, what amp would you recommend?

Arc is installed. I think I have my gains way too high. Gets blarry. Probably need to play around with it more (which I have no idea where to begin with in terms of tuning). Couldn't find x-over settings in my deck.

Nothing on the kenwood for x-overs. So if you look at the soundstream for input level, it has 6v on the left and .02 on the right. So translating that over to the arc, is max = 6v and min = .2v?

So here is a diagram for the arc amp. xdi805 I am assuming gain is labeled differently on the soundstream. How do I set everything pretty similar on the arc as it was set on the soundstream?

Just pulled the amp out, the HPF for 1 and 2 is around 120hz. It's not bottoming at 4khz as I thought.

I believe so, this is the first time for me tweaking an amp. How should I set the arc amp?

Here are some pictures of my setup right now. [/URL]   Arc testing will commence tomorrow afternoon. Will keep you guys updated.

Sounds good! Thanks for you guys input. Just want it to sound right with what I have and paid for

The shop said the amp is the issue, just a cheap amp but I thought a lot of people like the rubicon amp. They want me to step up to a JL amp.
