[QUOTE="djdownfawl, post: 6330533, member: 600984"] I am powering a set of CDT es62i GOLD components with an ARC 300.4 amp and i can't turn up the volume more than 12-14, the speakers crackle, and it sounds really bad. They are currently hooked up bridged. Bass boost on the amp is turned up 1/8th Gain is turned up 1/8th All lower frequencies on the H701 are on zero Turning down the gain and bass boost might help, but what i am asking is can i use this amp for the rears too instead of just using it for the front. So if i use it for the rears too its going to run as a 4 channel amp and i won't be sending too much power to the cdts...
