Adding an Amplifier

I installed the ultimate lockpick from coastaletech...great device. I also installed a DVD player in the front storage compartment under the factory radio. I used the sound isolator that coastaletech sells (although I had to take it apart and rebuild to get it to work).

My problem is that now that all of the add-on audio sources (from the XM sat and DVD player) are quieter than before I installed the lockpick/DVD player. I am not an audio techie, but it is frustrating to have to turn the volume of the DVD or sat radio up to 40-55 at highway speeds in order to hear the sound adequately (no I am not deaf). For example, I now need to turn the volume level to "45" for the same (subjective) sound level I used to get at about "30."

Would an amplifier help?

If so, which type and is it something I could install (I've put in this other stuff myself - not an expert, but I get by)?

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Thank you for the idea. I went to Best Buy and could not find what you are referring to. I checked with the head of the auto install department and he said there was no such thing. Of course I believe you rather than him, since you have one!!

Can you give me any more specifics (item number, actual name of the manufacturer/product, web page???

Sorry to bother you.
