Audio system question/thoughts?

[landmannnn]

I find the volume steps to large for normal listening. Volume on 2 to quiet, and 3 is too loud, when driving slowly and you just want some background music. Is there any way to turn down the overal volume of the speakers to have more control over the volume? I have a trialmaster btw.

If you go into setting acoustic there are a range of standard options, some are quieter than others.
You could alternatively scroll down and select equaliser, you can then turn up or down all the frequency sliders to change the volume output across the board.

The premium package’s subwoofer needs to be tweaked. Poor setting will result in terrrible bass.

You need to tweak both the base level and the crossover.. the latter should be as low as possible to inject meaningful low punches to your music, without muddying up the mid and high range waveforms. It’s definitely not fool proof

I have had my Trislmaster almost a year and think the audio system has been on once, when I picked it up at the dealership. I turned it off the afternoon I picked up the car and left it off for the three day drive home and never turned it on again.

Wait, you are alone with your thoughts while driving. I don't think I could handle that, I would go insane.

My better half drives like that almost all the time, I can't do it

Well, the first 1,000 miles were spent listening for weird sounds . At 1k miles I put a tuner and high flow air filter and now I am loving hearing the turbo. I purchased but have not yet installed a cat back exhaust, so that is what's next.

Does anyone else find that the audio system feels a bit half assed? For example, no amount of adjustment I can make to the EQ using presets or otherwise affects much of anything. On some songs it’s just terribly bad but you can’t get rid of the horrible bass no matter what adjustments you make. I like good bass, but it’s not setup well. Has anyone tried any third-party solutions such as replacing the bass head, amplifiers, etc.? I see that many people commenting they don’t care about the electronics and bought them for the off-road. But damn I need good tunes and sound when I’m off-roading.

In addition, I often find that the loudest sound possible still doesn’t carry any serious volume on many songs. Like when I’m cruising with the windows down and the tops up the audio just is not loud enough when I’m driving at speed. In comparison my Targa has amazing sound even with the top pulled back and road/wind noise.

Thoughts?

The “Premium” sound system is quite mediocre, not befitting a vehicle with a &90,000. + price tag. I was actually quite shocked by how poorly designed it is. I’ve been reading posts here on this topic and plan on implementing some of the improvements. If you sound designers at INEOS are listening, please change the name on the build sheet to “Barely Adequate” sound system.

That's because despite the price, the Grenadier is in no way, shape, or form actually a luxury vehicle

Yeah but they just needed to add some tweeters in the dashboard and make the sound stage much more serviceable. All 4 speakers low in the doors is the main culprit for poor sound quality

Sht if a Toyota 4Runner can offer reasonable sound in a no frills trucks, so can the grenadier it’s 70% there…
