I finally figured it out. So it seems that everyday I have to keep turning the base up on my radio (non bose). I thought it was my imagination in that I turned it down at times.. but finally this morning I had turned it back up (from neutral) and about 2 minutes later.. I looked at it and it was back at neutral again. So after playing around.. I noticed that if I turn the base up and change the station, it will go back to neutral. EVERY time I change the station.. there goes the base back down again.. mid and treble stay up.. just the base adjusts. What the heck.. Defective radio?? Or is it the non bose radios are sooooo powerful that they have to drop to neutral so the speakers don't blow..:joke:

I think it remembers the setting for each station. If you go back to a previous station, is it still set where you last set it?

I just went out and checked.. went to preset one.. adjusted it to max bass.. went to 2, 3, 4, 5 then 6. Then as soon as I went back to them.. they were all neutral again.

It wouldn't make sense that they would remember my setting for each..that would mean I'd have to adjust it for every station I tune to and when I travel to other states.. tune it again for each station. Sounds like a defective radio.

What I think you have to do is go to the preset station, adjust the bass, then reset that preset. The radio in my old truck (a 2000) had several different factory-set sound settings (i.e. rock, country, flat, news, etc), and it would do the same thing unless I reset the preset when I had it on the setting I wanted. It had the older stereo in it, but it wouldn't suprise me if GM carried over a stupid setup like that.

What sparks426 said. When you set your station presets, the radio also sets the EQ levels for that preset, too. If you change the EQ settings, you have to re-save the preset.
