A simple way to get more bass out of the stock Bose sub.

[RHE2026]

What is a good app EQ for Apple car play? Thx

I have the Bose and I made a few changes to get a cleaner audio out. Hopefully, this helps you all out and you're not just using bass boost on everything.

Details:
Android Auto
Apple Music

Bose Setup:
Bass (+3 clicks above center)
Treble (-3 clicks below max)

Apple Music Setup:
Audio Quality changed to Lossless
Equalizer Settings
60 Hz (+4 dB)
230 Hz & 910 Hz (-1dB & 0 dB)
4 kHz (+1 dB)
14 kHz (+2 dB)
Bass boost/surround sound off

Adjusted all the settings holding mic at my head height to get the frequencies to be clean and not distort or clip at higher volumes.

I did change my settings over to lossless for downloads and streaming but I do not see any adjustments on the EQ for Apple where I can adjust the 6Hz etc… The EQ shows Rock,Pop,R&B Jazz etc… Is the setting at the Nav in the car or your phone. Thx

It's on the apple music app itself. Once you select Equalizer and enable it, change it to user profile and then adjust it there.

Oh so that setting is on the nav screen? I will check that out because the system sounds like it just needs a little EQ tweak to get it sounding better .

It's on the phone app. So we are adjusting the audio quality before the Bose processing meddles with it.

This is the only menu I am getting in my settings. I‘m probably doing something wrong.

I don't see this screen. Only EQ settings are the pre-set ones. Please advise.

Bump.

Setting the balance toward the rear 2-clicks made a word of difference - it’s where the sub is.
To the point of accepting the system.

Can you let us know how you’ve accessed this EQ?

This looks like the android built in EQ panel. As far as I can see, there's nothing natively in iOS

Apparently, apple only has presets for own iOS users and allows custom for android users. I'm using a Google pixel with apple music v 6.5.2.

It say a lot when Android has more customization on your own apps than on your own phones! I’d be on Android (have before) but I need the blue iMessage texts. Don’t want to be that guy that breaks the chain!

Just get a second phone line for the car. My second line is an iPhone.
