How to adjust the audio system in Buick GL8?
2 Answers
There are two methods to adjust the Buick GL8 audio system: 1. Increase both treble and bass to +6, set midrange at zero, and move the overall sound field to -3 or -4 towards the rear seats. 2. Set bass to maximum, midrange to 4/5, and adjust treble according to personal preference (recommended at 2/3). For speaker position adjustment, set left-right balance of the listening center to 0 and front-rear balance to -5. This maximizes the utilization of the front bass speaker volume. Additional information about Buick GL8: 1. The Buick GL8 is positioned as a mid-size MPV. All GL8 models meet China's National VI-B emission standards. 2. In terms of powertrain, all models are equipped with a 2.0L inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, delivering maximum power of 191KW and maximum torque of 350N·m. All models feature direct fuel injection.
When I first drove the GL8, I felt the sound system wasn't punchy enough, so I figured out this adjustment method. Open the central control screen, go to settings and find the sound options. Switch the sound mode to pop or custom mode, then increase the bass by one or two notches to enhance the drumbeat texture, and raise the treble by two or three notches to make vocals clearer. Focus on adjusting the sound field positioning—push it a few notches towards the middle of the second row to ensure everyone in the family can hear clearly. Finally, remember to increase the speed-sensitive volume adjustment so you don't have to frequently turn the volume knob when driving at high speeds with wind noise. The new car's sound system needs a few days of break-in—playing different styles of music for several hours will improve the effect. The GL8's sound insulation is already good, and with these adjustments, the whole car can enjoy an immersive music experience.
