So I thought I might see if someone in these parts could offer some valuable input. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could.Here goes: I recently had some respraying done on my vehicle a VW Polo. When I got it back from the workshop I discovered that one of the repairmen had turned the bass settings on the stereo all the way to +9 (the highest setting on the system). FYI, I have made no modifications to the car's audio setup. The radio/CD player and speakers are all factory fitted.Noticing that someone had played the stereo with the bass pumped all the way to the top got me worried though. And when I reset the balance and fade, and returned the treble to flat and the bass to +2 (my preferred setting), the sound just didn't sound right. To be honest, it sounded rather muffled at times.Previously I played everything (all types of music from folk-rock to electronic music to hip-hop) on the same settings with pretty clear sound and some nice resonant bass.As far as I can tell, by isolating each cluster of speakers in the car, nothing has been been blown. And yet my ears tell me that the sound produced by the speakers is worse than before I sent it in for repairs.I am a little concerned that I might be responding to the thought that my system was played with the bass turned all the way up and at high volume, and that this might have affected playback subsequently. Thoughts? Is my system ruined for good?Thanks for reading.Funcrusha</blockquote>
