​​​​​​Absolutely...turn that feature right off.

I have everything adjusted and reassembled. It's very loud and clear just on volume 4 25%ish setting in my garage, weather should be good enough to ride the next couple days so I'll get to hear how it sounds on the road soon.

I think I have just one last question. I set the amp with bass and treble flat as suggested using the 1k -5db file suggested in the stickied thread. My question is am I ok to readjust them to my liking or do I need to leave them flat?

If you maxed out your gains, careful going up on the settings as you will potentially send a distorted signal to the speakers. If you adjust down, no issue there.
