JBL Xtreme 2 speakers have good sound quality that is the portable Bluetooth speaker.

If your JBL speaker does not give proper loudness it is caused by a low battery, software issues, faulty tweeters, and the main issue is an overload on the speaker.

How to make JBL Xtreme 2 louder

Reset

Maybe the speaker is in low-frequency mode in this mode music sound is low and the bass is loud. Due to this, you feel like your speaker’s sound is not loud. 

Therefore to bring your speaker back to normal mode reset it.

3. Now press the power button and turn on the speaker. 
4. After turning on the speaker it would be in pairing mode. The blue light will be blinking around the power button. 

Faulty tweeters

The JBL Xtreme 2 speaker has two tweeters at the top left and right side. Maybe these tweeters have been damaged. 

This problem occurs when the appropriate current does not pass both of them. If anyone of these tweeters fails, the lows, mids, and bass of this speaker will be low. And as result, overall sound output will be low. 

Due to this, the loudness of the speaker may be low. You can go to the technician for repair or if you have under warranty so contact the JBL official website for replacement.
