Bass in Windows

What do you set bass to for Windows control panel.

I just went over my friend's house for the first time today. I've known him for years, and he's always had bad hearing. So, we were about to fire up some Lan Starcraft, And on bootup his subw nearly made me shit myself. These are not hifi speakers or anything they're logitech 60 dollar speakers

In windows you have the bass/treble bar in the settings. His is set to 50%, i guess is the default, personally i've always set it to 15% on my computer.

THE Question is, Have I been doing it wrong all these years, or is everyone else right, and you're suppose to feel your chest vibrating.
 
Logitech is known for having more bass than other products (sometimes to a fault).

I don't think I have a bass / treble control actually, but I do have a whole equalizer to play with, and I have mine set flat. Is the Bass / Treble bar for you a boost setting?
 
What you are "supposed" to do depends on your perspective.

If you want it to sound the way it is intended to sound by the engineers, you should shoot for a flat response. Usually a sound studio expects users who care about sound to have adequate equipment to reproduce all frequencies at equal spl. This is actually somewhat easier to do with nearfield equipment like computer speakers. Of course, there are also a million super-cheap solutions that won't even come close.

Ultimately though, you should do what sounds best to you.
