2011 E350 subwoofer sound problem

Have read some threads on this issue where there is little or no real base coming out of the system problem, on my other car 2012 BMW 328i coupe the base from the stock system is awesome, so I expect that on my w212 there is something wrong. Any input would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

w212 as it is dont really have a nice bass from factory , its more mid and high than low frequency.
and bmw always had a nice sound no matter logic 7 or standart which probably beats w212 sound system anyways.

conclusion : get aftermarket speakers or a sub and also some sound proofing. Sadly but it is what it is

I do understand that the system doesn't provide booming bass but all German cars at this year and level have really decent sound if it includes a sub, mine doesn't work so am looking for that input only.

Unfortunately I don't think you'll find many people who would back up that statement. This generation of the E-class does not have significant bass. If your sub isn't working at all, I'd check for a blown fuse, faulty wiring, or a faulty sub. Not much you can do other than replace it if it's defective.
