How do you get any bass with it cranked that low? Seems I have to crank mine up just to feel anything come out of the speakers/sub.

As a matter of fact it's a bit too bassy at times. It depends, when I listen to hip hop it's spot on. But when I listen to some electronica it's more than enough bass...I achieve it by turning the mid settings down. If it's raised more than halfway, it really dissipates a lot of the bass. This is utilizing the Bluetooth source, while playing back music from my iPhone.

Yea, the bass isn't bad with electronica and most hip hop. For me, its rock and metal where the mark levinson craps itself.

Also, as far as sound quality, XM is just bad in this car, if that is what the OP is referring to. To me, the FM stations actually sound much better.

I hear you on the rock and metal thing! When I listen to my underground metal bands. It's simply awful...a big part is the mixing and mastering. Metal bands have such low budgets for their records, it's depressing...lol

Maybe that's why. I listen to a lot of rock and ML really falls flat on its *** with that.

Lol, it actually isn't huge at all...it causes no obstruction whatsoever. To either driver or front passenger. It's been riding with me since I had my is250.

Has anyone tried Tidal?

Been curious to see what the higher sound quality music sounds like from that service. I like how Spotify sounds but not sure if I want to pay double p/mo for something I may or may not notice in the car.
