reducing the Boomy bass in a Bose 2LT system

Glen e · 10-29-2013, 06:51 PM

Yeah I've messed with all the sliders, but this was pretty significant:

Had a friend who is in car audio as a profession and sells BOSE stuff sit in my car today...he tinkered a bit and did the following. He asked me if I wanted best sound for driver or all occupants - I said driver:
1. set car in "driver"
2. pushed the bass one push less than center , one push more than center on treb and midrange
3. then - and this made a big diff - one push on the top "front arrow" on the car pic at the right (fade front) . seemed to "clam down" the boomy base....

It made a big diff and how I'll run for my taste...

It's a bit difficult to understand, take a picture? Or put # of turns on each.

Thanks for the post. I should be experimenting with the radio controls within a week! My Stingray is on a car carrier making its way north from BG.

The changes that your friend made seem to make sense. Do these changes come at the expense of limiting the base and do you now lose the PUNCH that is appropriate for some types of music such as disco?

REDUCING THE BASS!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Haha I could never reduce the bass, in fact, before I even play my first song I will turn up the bass as high as it goes! All I listen to is Hip Hop so heavy bass is a must
