Default Question about remote turn-on wire and gain setup

Hi, I have a 2009 Ultra Glide and I'm going to upgrade the music department. I bought all these components (after having read a lot of threads):
- Alpine IDA-X100M marine media center (for less then Boom Ipod module...)
- Hawg Wired installing kit with handlebar controls module
- Arc Audio 125.2BX2 amp
- 4 Polk Audio Dxi650
- Hawg Wired speakers adapters
Now I'm going to install all, but I have a question about amp connection:
- it has three connections: power, ground and turn-on. Power and ground have to be connected to battery and frame. The turn-on input could be connected in parallel with the ignition input on the radio/Hawg wired module or it has to be connected to a switched power like lighter?
Many thanks, Stefano.

connect the remote turn on lead from the amp to the blue/white wire coming off the head unit.

Hi ultranutZ, today I installed my new system. Everything working but I need your opinion: with the 4 DXi650 speakers in parallel, I have to set the ARC 125.2 L&R gains almost at max to reach a high volume. Is it possible? Thanks

uh sorry... forgot you were in italy...

make sure you go back and re-read the instructions for setting your gains by ear in the sticky section.

My real problem is that the volume range is only in the last 1/4 of total range, untill you reach 3/4 of volume you hear nothing.
I found some other HDforum's user has the same problem
https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...-settings.html
Could it be the RCA input of the ARC 125.2? Should I try the high level inputs?
