ML Bass Issue

[Tpjc1018]

Picked mine up yesterday. The bass seems to come in & out. Seems more like a software issue. Anyone else experiencing?

I had that in my Tesla. The cable connecting to the sub might not be soldered correctly. Does it happen when you go over a bump?

 

[Tpjc1018]

No on bumps. The reason I think it is software is because when the base comes back in, it’s like a fade up.

I don’t think I have a problem with my ML system bass, other than it isn’t very good. The interior rattles and there’s no way to adjust crossover frequencies or anything. If feels like the sub is low quality and they have the upper limit frequency to the sub set too high. Combine that with the plastic interior bits and it isn’t a very good “premium” system

I’m not having any rattle at all.

I’m not having any rattle at all.

Do you have the bass turned up? I generally increase bass and treble levels while leaving the mid range. My previous car sounded amazing with clear and deep bass without distortion or interior rattles. The ML system is the opposite. It definitely gets loud and the high range is fine but the low range is awful IMO.

Bass is middle of the road. But there is definitely something off with it. It’ll cut off then within 10 seconds it’ll gradually come back in

Can’t remember. Does this car have OTA software updates or does a software fix have to come from the dealer?

Anyone else experiencing this? Volume over 45 & this occurs every time.

Haven't drove mine enough to answer your exact question but when i set up my driver profile, i turned up the base to work on my key and it keeps resetting to standard base. trying to figure that one out.

Still having an issue? I’m still exploring the sound but so first impression is I am glad I ignored anyone saying this system didn’t sound good. It’s crisp and clear, has plenty enough power and punch for me, and I’m pretty critical on my stereos. Blows the freaking doors off the bose system I’m coming from in the Silverado I traded in.
