ARC AUDIO • SPEAKERS • AMPLIFIERS • DSP • BASS • MOTORCYCLE

ARC gives us a lot of control. The first question is still simple: what are you trying to fix?

Maybe the factory system lacks detail. Maybe you want a real active front stage. Maybe you need one compact DSP amplifier to run most of the cabin. Maybe you want bass, motorcycle output or a complete system built around the factory radio.

We choose the ARC family after we understand the vehicle, the signal and the result you want—not because one line is automatically “better” for every build.

Plan an ARC System View Current ARC Audio

Start with the job.

Factory-location speaker upgrade

Fitment, mounting, factory signal and available power decide whether a conventional X2-style upgrade is enough or the system needs to go farther.

ARC speaker planning →

Active sound-quality front stage

AS and RS drivers make sense when placement, independent amplifier channels and DSP tuning are part of the plan from the start.

RS / AS speaker planning →

DSP + amplification in one package

Falcon, Blackbird and DSP-equipped X2 options can reduce the amount of separate hardware while giving us channel-by-channel control.

ARC DSP planning →

Conventional amplification

X2, ARC Series, Copper, Nighthawk and MOTO solve different channel-count, packaging and power jobs.

ARC amplifier planning →

Bass

ARC, A-Series shallow, X2 and SW ultra-shallow subwoofer families give us different ways to work around depth, airspace and output targets.

ARC bass planning →

Motorcycle / open-air

MOTO speakers, MOTO amplification, PSM-Pro and Harley-specific packages are built around a very different listening environment than a car.

2022 Duramax • Bose + Falcon

The factory Bose system stayed in the signal path while ARC Falcon handled DSP and system amplification behind it.

Jeep JL ARC Audio MOTO-CX speaker upgrade installed by SMS Car Audio

Jeep JL • ARC MOTO-CX

The open-vehicle environment changed what the speaker had to do, so this was not treated like a normal sedan door-speaker job.

ARC Audio X2 1200.6 six-channel amplifier installed in a Jeep by SMS Car Audio

Jeep • X2 1200.6

Six channels made sense because the speaker architecture needed them. Channel count followed the system instead of becoming the system.

2023 Jeep Wrangler ARC Audio DSP system upgrade by SMS Car Audio

2023 Wrangler • ARC DSP

The processor gave us control of routing, crossover, level, timing and response after the system foundation was in place.
