I just stumbled upon the "BOOST" feature on my Logitech Z-5500's.

HOLY SH!T WHAT THE FVCK!!!!!!!!!

TO GET INTO BOOST MODE:

1. First disconnect the jack for the fronts from your soundcard. This is for the safety of your fronts. This step is VERY important.

2. Turn sub volume halfway up, surround and center all the way DOWN.

3. Get a bass track with low notes like a bass test track for cars.

4. Turn your volume knob to max. Then turn it one full revolution quickly. Set it on Boost 5 and play the track.


Other Easter Eggs: (taken from AtomicMPC.com)

Second Skin
Make sure the Control Center is in standby mode (i.e the red light is on) and then hold down the input, effect, settings and mute buttons (i.e all except for level ) on the control panel for 6 seconds .

2) This will enable the 'second skin' feature. Instead of the red standby LED, you will have a purple one :-D And the volume bar will also look different but it will take most 'bars' to reach the same volume as the traditional skin.

These two are ripped/stolen from somewhere :p But i'm sure it will help us all!

3) "Volume Offsets". When listening to any of the "Analog Inputs" (Direct,Direct1,Direct2,Direct3), * you can set a "volume offset" by pressing mute while you turn the volume knob. It will always remember to kick your volume up by this many dB when you switch to this input. Why would you want this? Most audio systems have different output levels. Ever notice how you need to adjust the volume when you switch from one input to another? With this, you can "preset" these inputs a little hotter, so when you're flipping back and forth, the volumes match.

4) "Diagnostic Mode". When the unit is off, if you press and hold the Input and Effect buttons simultaneously for six seconds, you will put the unit in "Diagnostic Mode". In this mode, whenever a digital stream is detected, it will display information about that stream for five seconds, just like a receiver does. Might as well always leave it in this mode. It doesn't hurt anything, and the information is fun to have.

I hope you mean Z680s... The Z640s are weak compared to the 680s.

Boost? As in Bass Boost? You people and your silly computer speakers. ;)

I just spin the knob on my Sansui integrated to 7 and I have all the "boost" I need to knock things off wall. :D
