If you have a way of doing that with your sony 540 could you share? Mine gets too distorted when playing anything over volume 25 because of the bass in the speakers.
I use the custom equalizer settings. I have two 10" subs, so I lower the "low" setting mainly to reduce rattle.
I set my equalizer at -5 low, +4 mid, +2 high. Keeps most of the bass to my subs and let's me turn the volume up less for louder music. I never turn my stereo volume above 18.
Try playing with the "low" settings (mainly turning them down). Adjust the equalizer settings while listening to the same song for best results. You can always turn up just the sub with your sub controls too.
Hope this helps,
