Did you ever buy too much bass?

I talk a lot about bass and integration of subwoofers in a system and I realized that I need to hear more about the experiences auidphiles have when they go buy speakers and put them in a room.  Did you look at specs?  Did you audition in the home?  Did you end up with too little or too much bass compared to what you were expecting??

My best experiences have been with "middle-of-the-road" sound systems.  The Bose in the Audi and JBL in my current Toyota are probably the least offensive sound systems I've heard in premium cars.  The B&O option in the Audi hurt my ears.

There can never be too much bass. Simply a bad listening room.

Are you running your source full range through the anthem room correction?

Yes! Unbelievable how a car can be so good in driving experiences and yet be so bad when listening to music.

I have a JL Audio e110 that I’ve been unable to dial in properly in my small, treated room. No matter what I’ve done based on advice on A’Gon and from audio professionals, the sound has not been satisfying. I’ve taken it out of my system, and am happier with the sound now. I likely will sell the e110 to someone who knows what they’re doing with it.
