44. TEST OPERATION
For HiFi-equipped vehicles, recommended amplier set-
tings are listed. Your preferences may vary. Contact us
if you are having difculty or something doesn’t sound
right.
45. AMPLIFIER SETTINGS (HIFI ONLY)
For Base Stereo-equipped vehicles, recommended am-
plier settings are listed. Your preferences may vary.
Contact us if you are having difculty or something
doesn’t sound right.
46. AMPLIFIER SETTINGS (BASE STEREO ONLY)
• Gain: 40% (see ARC manual)
• Output: LOW (low-pass crossover)
• Crossover: 90 Hz
• Bass Boost: 0
• Input: Speaker Level In (button IN)
• Factory Radio Bass Level: -1
• Factory Radio Fade: Front +3
ARC KS125.2 Settings - HIFI
• Gain: 60% (see ARC manual)
• Output: LOW (low-pass crossover)
• Crossover: 80 Hz
• Bass Boost: 0
• Input: Speaker Level In (button IN)
• Factory Radio Bass Level: -1
• Factory Radio Fade: Front +5
ARC KS125.2 Settings - Base
TEST!

• BASS LEVEL CONTROL: HiFi-equipped vehicles can adjust the bass level on-the-y by fading
to the front (decrease bass level) or to the rear (increase bass level). Base Stereo-equipped
vehicles can adjust the bass on-the-y if they perform the front-to-rear channel swap (contact us
for more info). Otherwise, Base Stereo-equipped vehicles adjust the bass level with the Amplier
Gain.
• SIGNAL SOURCE QUALITY: No matter how good the stereo system, a poor quality signal will
always sound poor. If you are using MP3s or home-burned CDs it is critical that you understand
the limitations and impacts of whatever digital compression method you are using. MP3s at less
than 256kbps WILL have noticable loss of quality. Non-commercially obtained music (especially
downloaded via P2P le-sharing) recordings are often re-mixed by third parties and will have
been compressed in an unknown and uncontrolled manner. If you want good quality sound, use
ONLY commercial CDs or MP3s that you have ripped yourself at 256kbps or 320kbps.
• FACTORY RADIO SETTINGS: Remember that settings (Bass, Treble, Fade, Balance, AUX
input level, etc.) are stored on the Key FOB & are specic to the Source (Radio, CD, AUX). You
will need to edit and save the settings for each source and each FOB to have consistent sound.
