I am pleasantly surprised by the HK in my new G30, compared to my F10. Bass seems to go a little lower and to be less boomy and muddy. After an hour or so of fiddling, my current setup is:
- speed related volume adjustment at minimum;
- balance and fader neutral;
- surround off;
- bass +2
- treble 0
and then adjust equaliser bands as follows (figures are amount of adjustment, not the absolute position with cumulative effect of bass and treble adjustments)
- 100hz -1
- 200hz -1
- 1khz -1
- 2khz -2
- 5khz -2
- 10khz -1
- towel placed over the centre speaker ( trust me, this is worthwhile ).


Tracks used to test:
- "Don't give up" by Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush.
- "Black Skinhead" by Kanye West. Bass workout.
- "Take the long way home" by Supertramp.

All more enjoyable to listen to at mid to high volume than in the F10. But cover up that evil centre speaker firing into the glass windscreen. It has no place in what is really still just a 2 channel stereo system.
