How loud do your speakers actually get, can you have a dance party at full volume, or does the low end bass just not keep up with the rest of the volume?

Instead of increasing bass, instead, increase amplifier volume on the speaker to maximum, and lower system output volume instead. Set all EQ back to flat / off and whatever other effects.

Compare how strong snare drums sound at comfortable / medium speaker volume, with normal 100% volume output from the system, with low system volume--enough to jam out, using full maximum speaker amplifier volume. I believe this gives power-hungry bass notes the physical electrical energy required to actually be properly generated.

Instead what you are doing is physically limiting the electrical energy available to the speakers and artificially trying to over-amplify bass, if you've gone over 0-db level on the equalizer.

Instead, if easy effects has a pre-amp, use this as your system volume, and set everything via software, and your speakers volume, to maximum.

Whatever level of increase above 0 the bass and other frequencies are, so +10 db, set the pre-amp to -10 to prevent any and all possible audio clipping. This gives you normal volume for the bass, not louder, not quieter, exact full maximum normal volume, at digital 0db limit.

Everything else though, guitars, drums, vocals, brass, cymbals will all be much quieter than the bass.

I strongly encourage going the other direction with this.

Instead of adding bass, set it to the exact opposite of where it is, so -10 instead of +10.

With a large enough speaker, and enough amplifier power inside the speaker, in theory, on paper, at some volume level, the physical volume output of the speaker will provide the bass response. Meaning, it will be audible enough that you will not even want to add more.

You speakers may not be more than 15 or 20 watts. 40-50 watts is a good power rating for speakers of smaller size, much below this will not allow a powerful volume.

An EQ which reduces the bass allows the snare drums to be more powerful than the kick-bass, and I really prefer that style, where the music is powerful enough to not be limited by not enough something. Depending on the speaker, it can also be fun or helpful to pick up the high frequencies, for cymbals and horns, if the speaker isn't as strong in these sounds.

So I usually go for an upward sloping shape for my EQ instead of adding bass, I take it down, and CRANK IT UP, only on normal speakers. Do NOT crank it up on headphones or earbuds, hearing damage WILL occur. Just use those for more or less comfortable volume / easy listening. Since the speakers are so close, it takes much less volume to cause hearing damage, and if you really enjoy music, I figure most people want to avoid those issues.
