2.Listen to a variety of music styles (e.g. Rock, Rap, etc.) and slowly increase the Bass Boost control until a noticeable increase in low bass response is perceived.

3.Slowly adjust the Bass Boost control (up or down) to realize the best bass response.

CAUTION: If you hear a “pop” (due to speaker over-excursion), lower the Bass Boost to prevent speaker damage. If the system sounds muddy and distorted (due to amplifier clipping), lower Bass Boost to avoid shutdown from overheating.
