Aah - this would make sense. The crackling could be occuring because you're exceeding the clipping level of the signal - which means you're exceeding maximum output volume (this doesn't have to occur with the speaker volume up loud).
So the 'reduced volume' isn't a problem as such. All you're doing is setting the system to the CORRECT output volume of the ipod. Then you just turn the car stereo up louder to compensate![]()
