Audio Newbie - Bose Bass Module 700 - Not What I Expected?
Bass Module 700 - Appreciation post
For those who’ve had the Bose 700 set up, (soundbar, subwoofer and surround speakers) what was your experience with it? I’ve seen that some people say that the soundbar has lip sync delay, others who say the subwoofer has a weird noise coming out of it, etc. But what’s your opinion on it?
700 bass module or 700 speakers?

Hey everyone. I recently ventured into purchasing some Bose equipment to achieve some type of theatrical effect when watching things like Netflix, or rented content from iTunes, Google Play, Apple TV and so on.
My current setup is as follows:
-Bose Smart Soundbar 900
-Boss Bass Module 700
-LG 4K OLED (55")
Given this setup, my room is no where near in a place where I'd like it to be. Now, for reference sake, my cousin has the same exact configuration and has a room that's twice as big as mine, and hardwood floors, like mine.
I've tried to emulate what I like: bass! I want the room to have a light rumble and I want to feel the impact of the high-octane action scenes, or just the impact of the content that I am watching. Now, I can't tell if my Boss Bass Module 700 is really working. I got one from Best Buy, did the ADAPTIQ and turned on dialogue mode, and there was NO bass. It was just dead in the water. So I got a new one.
This is now my second one, and I have the soundbar's bass setting to 70, and the bose bass module at 40. When watching shows, there is a vibration through out the room, but it was WAY more intense at my cousin's house, who has the same settings.
While I understand that each room may call for different audio settings in the Bose app, I am a bit confused as to why my subwoofer sounds so vastly different from his, or maybe my memory/recollection of it is incorrect. How do I confirm, or validate that this sub is actually working? I feel like the $800 is just not worth it right now? Can anyone please help me out? Here is how it's setup.
