I went back to single channel and it sounds really good. Testing it only by ear I have my gain turned up a quarter of the way and its loud and very clear. My crossover is set at about 60hz sounds good but is that too low?

By single channel do you mean not bridged? The reason that I asked is my gains are set at about 3/4 running in 4 channel mode.
Also, I would set the crossover closer to 80hz

So where are you Guys setting the bass boost at, I have mine set to 0. Is the bass boost for subs only or can it be used to get a little bass from the 6.5 speakers. Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't use it. Stick with the head unit adjustments.

Thanks. Last question I hope. With my current setup I went by the instructions and set the amp on High, is that the best setting for 6.5 or should I set it at Full?

And as mentioned above I'd also recommend 80hz on those.

I installed a 600.4 on my 14 ultra limited with Moto and Hertz milles speakers I used the BT line lever a and tuned with multi meter. It sound so bad I'm about to reinstall all the stock stuff. It seriously sounds like a 15inch tweeter​ in a tunnel. Any ideas? I didn't flash I already assumed it was set with no amps and 4 speakers being its a ultra.
