hahah i see you have the ks300.4

since i have the 300.2

That is a great little amp. It is one of my favorite amps. I would stick with the Arc Audio KS 300.2 That is 180 Watts at 4Ohms do you need much more for the 6.5? Also That is rated I would bet it is putting out more than 180 Watts. Just wire it reg...with + to + and - to - for 4Ohms if the speakers are 4ohm to start with.

Yes I have it on my comps. it is a great amp, clean, clear power.

 

[dafobbishon3 10+ year member]

do you just hook it up to the 2 channels? thats already 4 ohms?

 

[Ksan 10+ year member]

Yes that is running 180 Watts at 4Ohms. That is plenty of power for them.

i have a ks3002 on jsk163 3way high energys, in a build i did for someone, sounds great, amp does rated power no more then rated though, have clamped it before and it did pretty nuts on rated power

The Arc Audio KS 300.2 is a very nice little amp. I really like the way it looks, and if you didn't know it was designed by Robert Zeff, this man is a genius in amp design. You will be happy with this amp.

I have traded my Arc Audio KS 1000.1 for a Image Dynamics Q1200.1 this week and their was a pretty big difference in the performance of the two amps but under stand this is a $380.00 (Arc) VS a $1000.00 (ID) amp so their should be a pretty big difference. I will soon buy a Image Dynamics Q700.2 but for now I am very happy with the sound quality of the Arc Audio Amp on my Mids/Highs.

He is also right on the power of the Arc KS amp it will do rated power clean and clear but not much more, you could expect maybe 20-25 wrms more out of it but thats about it. Hook it up to you speakers at 4Ohms and enjoy the crisp sound.

which set up would give more power

the ks300.2

or the CV V400.4 bridged?

I do not know much about the Cerwin Vega amp but I would bet that the Arc Audio KS is a much better amp. As far as the power, the Arc is doing what that CV amps is doing bridged and it is doing it at only 4ohms. So you have to push that CV amp to its limits to get what the Arc is doing at 4Ohms. I would get the Arc Audio no doubt about it.....

yeah, thanks a lot. i think i'll keep my arc amp and sell my CV then.

if u want more power get the KS 300.4 and it will give u

4 ohms bridged: 2 x 350 watts

all the reviews of the arcs have them putting about out about 20% more than rated
