Doug, I just installed my first system, so by no means expert.

but.. basic process seems similiar. Others may give ypu better advice....

on amp
turn sensitivity all the way down to start
set frequency to 80hz
set crossover to HP or Flat

On head unit
Turn off automatic volume control
Set bass/treble to middle
set volume to 3/4 . I left 4 bars at end

turn on ignition but not running
play a song and slowly turn sensitivity up until you hear distortion, then back off slightly. Try different songs. Probably best to play through usb but i also streamed from phone.

once i got it where i wanted it, i let my bike idle and made any slight further adjustments while bike was running.

Once good, i used the bass/treble on head unit for any slight adjustments.

More knowledgeable chaps will.jump in with advice for you.

if you do a search, there is a ton of info to read on this forum. I learned a lot just by searching.
