    Speaker system - bass not right

    Built and rebuilt my car PC last weekend. Got new speakers - JBL and the amp is a MTX 4 channel. I had it hooked up to the stock (- the amp) and from the CD I had a more pronounced bass sound. When I hooked up my car pc with the external USB sound card + amp, it sounds good, but no matter how I try to configure the bass either in the winamp or in RR it doesn't allow me to get more bass without distorting the sound. It's ZM-RSSC soundcard.
    Is there a good equalizer program out there, or how would I go about fixing this?
    Also, the volume seems to be not equal - when I go 0-10% seems to increase it the most, and 50-100% seems that there is no volume increasing.

    How do you have the high pass filter set on your amp? Try turning it off, or setting it as low as it will go.

    The issue with the volume control is caused by a linear volume control instead of logarithmic. You can tell Windows to use logarithmic by setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Multimedia\Audio\VolumeControl\EnableVo lumeTable to 1. But I don't know if that will affect the volume control in Road Runner (or whatever frontend you use).

    lowered the high pass filter - sounds better but still not the best.
    Any other options?
