Default Amp input question.

I have a 2010 Electra glide ultra limited and purchased a mmats md4110 amp.It came with rca jacks that plug into the amp.Can I set the amp to high input and be fine or do I have to switch amp to low input and add a low level converter?Im using the stock head unit which doesn’t have rca jacks on it.
I was thinking of tapping into the speaker wires coming out of the stock radio and buying speaker wire to male rca jacks and putting the amp of high input.Any guidance is appreciated.

I’d use the hi-level inputs and RCA jacks on the speaker outputs from the HU.

Others will advise to use LOCs and use the lo-level inputs but I’d always start clean and simple first.

I appreciate the answer.I’ll get some speaker wire to male rca adapters and plug that into the female rca harness that came with the amp and use the high input on the amp.I like simple.Thank you.
