Default excessive bass on 991.2, base stereo

Has anyone else noticed the excessive bass response with in a 991.2 base system? I have the bass set at -9 (max attenuation) and still too much bass. Is it the driver (which I would like to replace anyway) or base stereo eq settings? TIA

I have that issue as well. It happened after a PCM update, but never got around to dealing with it. I just keep my bass set to -6 or -7 and okay with it. It'd be nice to find out what the deal is.

Every time I drive with the radio on I’m constantly turning it down. Paranoia that a thumping or vibrating bass is something happening with the car.

Maybe I just need to listen to different music.

Did you make sure the “Loudness” box is not checked?

I added a couple of subs to the car because there wasn't enough bass for me with the stock Bose system... To each their own I guess.

On 991.1 with sound package plus it is on the same screen that allows you to adjust the base and treble.

Apparently Loudness didn’t make it to the 991.2.
