'08 TL sub weak sounding?
Ok. I am not sure if it is just me!
I dropped off my 08 TL to a dealer. They were replacing both headlights to address condensation issue (warranty). They gave me a 2010 TSX base model as a loaner and so I tried out the sound system and wow it has bass overload!
Got my TL back and holy crap I can't even hear any bass from my sub although I know it's working. So for some reason I thought the TL bass was better than what I was hearing. almost like there was lesser power going to the sub.
Not sure if dealer disconnected battery to change out headlights but I can't believe there was such a huge difference and I'm sure the TL had better bass than what I was hearing.
Should I try a NAVI system reset via the Map,menu and cancel and/or disconnect the battery to see if the system gets back normal power to the sub?
....or is it just me and that the TL sub is indeed so weak ?

I noticed that when i first test drove the tl. The rest of the speakers are nice IMO. I put a ten in the trunk, finally downloaded winID or whatever and tuned it up and sounds near prestine to my ears.

I have driven a 2010 TSX as a loaner as well. It was a non-Navi, meaning that it had the basic, non-ELS sound. It sounded much better than my ELS in the TL. Plus our subs rattle like hell too.

It's a stock subwoofer, just have to take it for what it is. I agree though, I was a little disappointed with it when I first bought the car.
I will say though that XM stations tend to have much better bass, not to mention really good quality.

i think i've 're-adjusted' now to the TL stereo... considering that i was in a 08 RDX tech (features a 10" Sub) for about 3 months prior AND i just got off a flight from New Orleans so my ears were still semi-popped...in any case, my love affair for the 3G will not be dampened by this trivial matter. lol.
