I have a quiet acoustic bass on a track and it rattles minivan speakers even at low volumes. What can I do to fix that? I have a few ideas, but thought I'd ask the pros.

Thanks, compadres!

I would suggest replacing your minivan speakers with something sturdy - you can get a decent subwoofer at any reputable dealer.



More seriously, I don't think there is anything too heavy about the bass on that track. If you made it downloadble I could check it on my metering software, but there is nothing audible that is too loud.

Perhaps roll off everything below 40 hz just on general principles.

What do the audio experts here think?

Tighten the mounting hardware on your speakers? There's really not that much low bass in this track at all, unless the SC streaming version is not playing it?
