Question to the Harman Kardon users out there. Do you feel that the Sub adjustment control decreases more than it increases? When I run the slider control, left from middle it definitely lowers, but right slide doesn’t seem to change much. Did my vehicle get cross wired from the factory (Sub and Woofers out of phase)?
Guess this really goes out to MY 2023 xc60 and newer (Google interface). Sounds like previous years have different controls.
I’m playing source that definitely has sub (below 50Hz). Feels like it is only doubling the intensity at max. Is this intentional on Samsung/Harman/Volvo behalf?
BTW - wondering anyone knows the rated wattage output of each channel of the HK amp? I’m guessing it’s 150/60/40 watts per Sub/Woofers/highs respectively. How far off am I?
 
None of the controls make a big difference IMO. OTOH, it's a pretty neutral-sounding amp which sounds good with most sound sources and types of music/news/etc., so I don't feel the need to adjust it for every song as I have had to do with some car stereos.
 
That sounds about the same as my experience. You might have to just lower the highs and turn the volume up. The AAOS cars are lacking in the EQ department. I prefer most of the system, but EQ is one complaint I do have.
