What should I add to Surreal Sound?

[BigLebowski]

When I ordered my Touring at the end of June there wasn’t anything available that had everything I wanted. So, I had to go with a car that had everything except SSP. Now after driving it for a week, like many of you, I’m very disappointed with the sound. The problem is that I’m leasing, so can’t go crazy putting in a whole new system. Has anyone in a similar situation done anything minor that has made a difference, such as just putting a subwoofer in the trunk?

Do a search for subwoofer here on the forums.

Sounds reasonable to me.

Add a subwoofer with alligator clips and take the system back with you when you return the car after the lease.

As I’m a total dunce with this stuff, which type of alligator clips do I need? A link to them would be much appreciated!

Thread 'Subwoofer Bass solution'

Jan 12, 2023

I don't consider myself an audio expert but I do expect to enjoy a great music experience while driving. Despite the hype of Dolby Atmos, Tidal and Lucid's Surreal Sound, I was disappointed, like a few others on the forum, about the lack of punch in the bass. Don't get me wrong, the highs, mids and spatial imaging are stellar indeed but the bass need attention, in my humble opinion.

Below is my novel solution: I purchased an enclosed self powered 12 inch JBL subwoofer from Amazon. I originally intended to place it in the frunk but ran into too much difficulty plumbing the wires from...

Below is a generic picture of alligator clips in black, red, and stainless steel colors:

Instead of permanently soldering your new subwoofer cables to your Lucid subwoofer terminals, you can use the clips above to clip and unclip them as needed at any time.

Hey which one of us dude or el duderino? Oh wait I’m the one that said I’ll suck your cock for $1000 but Brandt has to pay $100 to watch. . You’ll probably recognize the kid in my Avatar also as my real name is Larry. Welcome Lebowski! In all seriousness though what’s the playback format you use? I have not heard the regular audio system only SSPro but I can’t imagine streaming in Tidal max resolution sounds bad on the regular system. Regular Spotify probably does though.

Hi Bunny,
I’m just gonna go find a cash machine…

I’m using Tidal set to max and the system still sounds one dimensional to me and lacking bass. I’ve fooled around with the balance and EQ, but still can’t get it to sound great. I’m hoping put in a subwoofer will help.

You're not using the Eagle's to test the system are you?
