My sister has a 2004 civic with a factory system. I recently installed a Directed Electronics FM Modulator (RFM100)w to connect her Ipod. It has great sound quality, but it loses a lot of volume. I would say a good 30%. Is there any way to upgrade the amp built into the HU? there are a few places around town that repair amps and headunits, could they do this? I don't want to add an external amp to the factory HU, and she does not need anything more complicated. Trust me, she will die.
