Default DD D4 settings

I installed amp, and speakers last night, and have a few questions on tuning the amp. bike is a 12 FLHX, speakers are ARC Moto 602's.
HPF & LPF are off
Summing is on
VAC is around 26 @ 3/4 volume .
looked to be what I needed to get 180w to the speakers. Sounds great to the ear. Just making sure I'm getting the most out of my new set up the right way. Any helpful tips would be great.

What headunit are you running?

your gonna want the HPF around 80hz. Kinda tough to nail exact with the D4 but figure around 10 o'clock should be safe. Depending on the headunit you may be able to set it there.

If the radio has an HPF setting use that one instead.

All thanks to you guys, and a little patience. was blown away at how much better is sounded than the Boom speakers I had. The HU does have the HPF, so I will try adjustment on there. is 180w right for those speaker? I saw somewhere 200w, but I wasn't sure if the post was being sarcastic or serious

180 W is perfect for those speakers!
