Adjust Harmon Kardon subwoofer gain?

I’ve searched for this and did not find anything.

Apart from the audio controls in iDrive, is there any way to adjust the bass level on the HK audio, specifically the gain on the Harmon Kardon subwoofer? I haven’t looked under the seat yet but wondering if there’s a gain knob.

I know it is possible to enable some B&W audio settings via BimmerCode. Maybe that could also do it.

Let me guess......kind of lacking in sound? I am having the same feeling about mine as well. I have not looked for gain knob, but I have seen a post or two on here where someone replaced their HK gear with some Match and they said it sounds a lot better.

Nope, no gain control.

I have coded the b&w audio settings on my HK system and that does not enable any sub settings, it just adds some new sound profiles.
