E350 cab with Harmon kardon
Hi, Im new to MB and recently purchased a 2010 E350 cab with the HK audio.
Now the problem I having is with the sub, with anything other than low volume the sub simply distortes, you can get around it by turning down the bass but this kind of defeats the objective of the sub.
Is this a common problem with this car/audio system? I am really disappointed with the system in general particularly as it is supposed to be the premium system.

At least, with the bass set to '0' or so, you should never hear any distortion. You may have a bad speaker.

I sort of disagree. My opinion is that at what they charge us for the sound systems in these cars, they should be able to function well and clearly with all their controls set to "11."

Though there definitely should be no distortion at "0". Play with the sound from different sources and if it's all bad it's probably a bad speaker. I have a blown HK speaker too... Whoever had the car before me must have also thought that cranking it to "11" should fall under standard operation... ;-)

I agree but this is not related to any excessive expectations, it's just low. Anyway, I don't want to hijack the thread, I'm looking at other sub installation threads.
However the OP posting will make me go back and carefully look at settings and to get back under that deck to hear what's going on.
thanks!
