Default ARC 125.2 BX settings and a few other stupid questions

I know, use search.

I did search and not just on this site but I can't find a clear answer that doesn't divert to another subject or recommending something else. I want a idiot guide to setting this amps outputs.

I have a 125.2BX but the manual doesn't mention anything about the BX.

I am running a Sony DSX-S100 HU and ordered 6.5 Infinity Kappas 62.11i

This may be a stupid question but in a 2 speaker set up does it matter if you use the front or rear outputs from the HU?

The HU says it has a 4ohm output, does that matter going into the ARC and running 2 OHM speakers?

For future reference we need the year and model of your bike for most questions.
Secondly, No question on this forum is stupid. We know what we know.

Front or rear outputs doesn't matter but on a two speaker system I'd use the fronts.

Once you incorporate the amp into the mix the HU impedance doesn't matter. You can run two ohm or four ohm speakers as long as the AMP is two or four ohm compatible.
In your case the Arc 125.2 is compatible.

Thanks.

I think I understand most of the amp set up, but I can't find much info on BX on or off.
