I did the mod in 25 minutes and with succes. Now I can turn up the volume without feeling annoyed. The balance is there. The simplest ideas often turn out to be the best ideas. I had plans to change the stock amp and the speakers. It's still not the best car stereo you can buy, but it's acceptable now. I keep a lot of money in my pocket. The mod did cost me 9 Euro's, included shipping costs.
