Does anyone know why the volume seems muted with the sat radio compared to the normal stereo. I've turned the volume meter on the sat radio all the way up, but it hasn't helped. I'm in law enforcement, and my "company" car I've also installed a sirius radio, but did so myself. In the crown vic, there is no difference between the sat or the normal radio volume levels. I am wondering if the schlameels at Best Buy did something wrong. Any feedback would be appreciated.

2007 Silver Crewmax 4x4. Flowmaster 40s, Aries step bars, Weathertech floor mats and wind deflectors, Undercover Tonneau Cover, 3m clear bra, and a leather Pittsburgh Steeler steering wheel cover.

Tampa I have XM and it's the same way. If I put on radio, MP3, CD volume is loud. XM I ahve to turn it up a little more. I rarely go above 33.
