2013 G37x with Navigation and Premium package equipped with Bose Audio system.

Although subjective, the sound on this car is not as good as it can be; and many times this can be due to the default settings. I am seeking advice from fellow G owners on their findings, EQ settings that they thought made the system sound much better. I am not considering on changing any hardware components at all and will be keeping the car on it's original form.

My settings as of now are,

Bass 3 notches up from the center.
Treble 2 notches up from the center.

I believe this gives a stronger bass response and a bit cleaner and wider high's. I have also turned off the driver's audio stage option.

Fellow audio enthusiasts, please post your findings and feel free to elaborate on why do you prefer that setting.

 

I can say that is exactly where I have my bass/treble set, based on different types of music.

 

Treble all the way up. Bass one tick down from highest.

 

Thanks for sharing. I have the settings on the same and my feeling are, it is a bit bass heavy while the car is sitting in the driveway or moving on a local road, however, the bass response is showered by the road noise when on the highway.

Yup, although a debate for another topic, the tire on this car is super noisy, especially on cement type roads. I wish the sound isolation on this car is better as well. However the driving dynamics of this car makes up for these petty flaws.

 

Interesting change. You like treble heavy music I suppose? I will try that on my commute to home this evening and share my thoughts on it later tonight.

Thanks for sharing.

 

Agreed and for me, it was a bit of a compromise between 'enough' bass on r&b / hip-hop, and too much bass on other types of music.

Meant to mention: I leave driver stage turned on. And the thing that increases volume based on speed? I turned that down to the first notch.

 

Every car I get in I turn the treble to max or almost max. To me it makes the song clearer and easier to hear the words.

I mainly listen to edm

 

i usually listen to xm radio or my phone via bluetooth. i find the bose system to be quite bass heavy by default so i have bass at +1 and treble at +4. i listen to mostly hip hop. works for me.

 

^+1

My XM seems to be quieter as well so i turn up the bass to about +2 or 3 and treble and +3 or 4. I mostly listen to Electro/EDM tho

 

EDM has words?

 

Yes... you must be thinking of techno or something. Definitely not into techno.

 

I listen to a lot of different stuff. But mostly TOOL.
