I just put a delco delphi am-fm-cd radio in my 2006 chev express van that came with a delco delphi am-fm. The volume is low on the am-fm-cd. The radio came out of a chev pickup 2003

it was likely meant to be used in an amplified vehicle.

A DMM is a beautiful thing.

Same here.

Some some factory radios are designed to be used with the factory amplifier.

Even if the van's factory harness plugs in to the radio, it doesn't mean that it was the correct match.

A DMM is a Digital MultiMeter. Does the radio have the Bose logo anywhere on the face of it?

You would thing that I might know what a DMM is, I've been doing electric work since 1980 and I own 5 or 6 of them. Hell I'm getting old.

That radio appears to be part of a Monsoon system. The deck in those systems sometimes does not have any special markings to identify it as needing an amplifier. If I had to guess, as already stated, that radio is designed to send signal to a factory amplifier.
