Picked mine up yesterday. The bass seems to come in & out. Seems more like a software issue. Anyone else experiencing?
ML Bass Issue

I had that in my Tesla. The cable connecting to the sub might not be soldered correctly. Does it happen when you go over a bump?

No on bumps. The reason I think it is software is because when the base comes back in, it’s like a fade up.
I don’t think I have a problem with my ML system bass, other than it isn’t very good. The interior rattles and there’s no way to adjust crossover frequencies or anything. If feels like the sub is low quality and they have the upper limit frequency to the sub set too high. Combine that with the plastic interior bits and it isn’t a very good “premium” system

I’m not having any rattle at all.
Do you have the bass turned up? I generally increase bass and treble levels while leaving the mid range. My previous car sounded amazing with clear and deep bass without distortion or interior rattles. The ML system is the opposite. It definitely gets loud and the high range is fine but the low range is awful IMO.

Bass is middle of the road. But there is definitely something off with it. It’ll cut off then within 10 seconds it’ll gradually come back in

Anyone else experiencing this? Volume over 45 & this occurs every time.
Haven't drove mine enough to answer your exact question but when i set up my driver profile, i turned up the base to work on my key and it keeps resetting to standard base. trying to figure that one out.
Still having an issue? I’m still exploring the sound but so first impression is I am glad I ignored anyone saying this system didn’t sound good. It’s crisp and clear, has plenty enough power and punch for me, and I’m pretty critical on my stereos. Blows the freaking doors off the bose system I’m coming from in the Silverado I traded in.
Replying to a fairly old post here but I have the same issue and will report back on status after disabling noise cancellation with my programmer when it comes in (and the stupid fake engine noise).
ML is definitely an issue on higher volume with the Bass. Mine cuts off when over 50 on volume control after about 30 seconds then after about 10-15 seconds comes back, but not full like it was before. I have seen a lot of complaints about this and Lexus and ML are supposedly looking into this for some resolution.
Well, shit. I can confirm it definitely isn’t interference from the noise cancellation. I disabled and no change. As much as I want to believe something is being worked on I am not at all hopeful that they will actually do anything for existing trucks.
With the amp being buried under carpet, I would feel it’s getting too hot and being over driven. Its not ideal but better than clipping the amp and losing a speaker. Try keeping the bass on half and lower the treble and mids to give yourself more headroom.
