ndogg ct · August 9, 2019

What is everyone finding they’re best settings for Bose are?

and had treble almost maxed out

thanks

Really? Show me a hundred trucks and I'll show you a hundred different settings.

Bass -12 mid +7 treble +7 but I have the Kicker sub, I set it up with pink noise and a real time analyzer. I use the Kicker sub control to adjust bass for the type music. The Bose sub totally sucks.

For a stock system definitely fade to rear a couple of settings...The Bose system is pathetic no matter what you do with it.

Bass 3-5
Mids 0-5
Treble Always Max

Bose is very disappointing. Can’t wait until I add my JL sub. I might even bypass the whole thing and start from scratch. But I’m more picky about audio than most.

The Bose mids and highs are not as bad as stock and once you get rid of the damn Bose sub it sounds much better. I think one of the things most of us hate and don’t know it is the automatic noise reduction ANR, there are mics all around the inside of the truck that listen for noise and then generate opposite phase frequency sound waves to cancel the sounds. There is an easy way to turn the damn thing off on the 2018, I contacted the maker he does not know if it will work on the 19 yet. It is a simple plug that is about $25 on Amazon. I have read it makes a big difference. Anyone know where the Bose amp is, I have heard behind the back seat and in the console. No garage to damn hot to tear the truck apart in the sun.

Bose sucks. It’s better than stock, but not by much.

Wow that was really helpful not sure if you are an audio engineer or an idiot. My Bose with the Kicker sub is not bad working on making it better instead of making stupid generalized statements that help no one. Thanks for sharing.

I’m def an idiot. I spent almost 4 g’s on SunDown Audio stereo equipment because I hated the sound of the Bose. I don’t know what I’m talking about. Kicker sucks too. Thought I’d share that stupid generalized statement also.

If you spent $4000 on a stereo yup you are an idiot, the ability to waste money does not make you intelligent, educated or an audiophile, just an idiot. By the way I am an audio engineer.

Ya really

I know there are some audio guys that spend some time and get the best settings for each system

OMG. I’m just a big fukn idiot. What am I gonna do with the rest of my money? Maybe I’ll send it to Mountain Goat so he can buy more Kicker garbage components from K Mart. Your a joke dude. Next time you decide to call someone an idiot for having an opinion you don’t agree with and doing what I want, with my money, look in the mirror. By the way, you’re so cool for being an audio engineer. Boooooring. Your probably a lefty liberal. Take your boom mic and shove it up your ass. Peace

And in that 4g’s was installation including building a custom sub box for 2 12’s that goes underneath my rear seat.

Children!! why cant' we have a constructive conversation here? I would like to get some tips or things that have worked for others. I wish I had 4k to spend on my audio sys but I don't ( I would though if I had it) I do agree the Bose in my 2020 RST is really not up to par. I just sat in a friends 2025 Ram Warlock and it makes mine sound like a transistor radio ( for you young guys that's what we had in the 60s. Anyway any suggestions' on what will help these rear speakers?
