Default Stereo Settings Question

Bike is a 2007 Ultra.

I see people posting about "recommended settings" or suggestions as a starting point for setting things up. I've got 8 speakers now & an amp, and I want to set about getting my bass, treble & fade set up. I know most of it is a personal rpeference, so here's my question:

With the threads Iv'e read here, people post "Set your bass at 4 bars above zero, or set your bass at 4 and your treble at 6" blah blah blah:

Are you referring to the absolute leftmost portion of the scale as being zero, or are you referring to the centre of the scale (the small vertical dash on the screen) as zero, with the left increments being negative and the right increments being decreasing?

I'm at work so I'm nowhere near my bike's manual.

I should be working as well but what the hell. Zero is the center of the scale and left would be negative and right positive. Now watch me get corrected.

Set the bass and treble to the middle as a starting point.

Absolute left-most portion of the scale as being zero. Any bar to the right is considered PLUS. Like the volume control.
