the frequency response of most FM transmitters isn't that great, and the sound quality is even less. There should be at least one knob on the amp that is labeled sens or gain near where the RCA input wires go - try turning that knob clockwise to the halfway point and see what happens.

yea FM transmitter transmits at 64 kbps bitrate which is about 1/2 the quality of mp3 songs...and like 1/10 the quality of original CDs. Best way is to hook up your ipod with AUX jack.

most of your options become rather expensive ..... new headunit, eq with input, etc ...

yeah if you have RCA inputs(I hope you do) in your player, buy a 3.5mm audio jack to RCA cable (cheap)....and plug it into your player....input 1, input 2, AUX or w/e

More-Costly Alternative:
Or just get a Pioneer like mines that has USB connectivity (so you can hook up ipod, mp3 player, jump drives, and even hard drives...basically anything USB and has music on it) :-D

And like said.......take in account, .mp3 is compressed, so less than say.... .wav format....and going on ipod I think iTunes puts it in there format (dunno bout quality loss)
but all in all ipod quality
Also in my player......it has an USB sound booster/enhancer, so that helps me get some of whats lost in the compression....

Good Luck
