Default What am I missing?

I upgraded my stereo set up and it just does not sound as good as I think it should. I have DD D4 amp Arc Moto 602s and a BT355 running bridged. Here is the deal, when in ACC mode the system sounds pretty good. I know that the MoCo has some settings to improve the sound when in ACC mode. What confuses me is I thought the BT355 was supposed to prevent this from occurring? With the bike running I have hardly any base at all, it will get loud but it sounds like an old am radio. I have the Hi pass filter set at around 1 oclock on the amp for both channels. On the head unit I set the gain with both treble and base set dead in the middle and it ended up right around 10 oclock. I am thinking I might need to adjust my hipass filter some but am afraid I might hurt the speakers if I screw up this setting. I am new to this stuff so I am trying to be real careful on the settings. I would be happy if I could get it sound as good when running as it does in acc mode....open to any and all suggestions.

The bt355 is not a magic cure all. All it does is attenuate certain frequencies. ALL 2014+ boom Head units adjust the crap built in DSP setting when off and when on to match the OEM crap speakers ONLY. With aftermarket it muffs everything up.
If your wanting to get the best out of what you have then ditch the bt355 and do a DSP.
You can tweak the t355but unless you know how to properly do it DONT!!
You can easily blow speakers "guess" setting the BT355.

Those Motos are way down towards the bottom of my list of favorite fairing speakers, but they are still barely hanging onto the list.

Work really damn hard on the tuning and really get to know the impact the HPF and gain is having on ur Speaks with ur favorite song playing. Don't jack with the BT355. U will find the sweet spot, but keep your expectations realistic too.
