So do I understand the situation correctly as the hardware is a 2 inch/5cm
speaker, and you are trying to give the impression of more bass by adding
distortion?

I think that trick works best when the speaker system can get down to
within one octave of full bass response, so down to below 80Hz for sure,
and you have to be careful to not apply enough distortion that everything
sounds worse.  You may also need something like a speaker crossover, where
only frequencies below the bass cutoff of the speaker system are sent to
the distortion circuit, then the output of that goes through a high pass
to get rid of the low frequencies which cannot be reproduced by the
speaker, and the harmonics added back in to the original source to create
the illusion.

I'm not sure where you are located, does your locale have a saying
regarding attempting to make a high quality result when starting from
limited quality source materials?  Perhaps you are finding the limits of
such a small system.
