the volume becomes softer so i would have to turn it up a little bit.

why do you want a changer? you can get a mp3 player and you will be set with songs.

omg i have a reply already!?

i don't like mp3s and can't really afford a mp3 player, i prefer cds and like 12 disk changers

so the VOLUME would be a it lower? shouldnt be a problem if i have a 4v h/u right?

main caveat w/ FM modulated cd changers: poor sound quality
Lol, you can't afford an mp3 player because you keep switching from deck-to-deck! :D
Anyway, you compromise your beloved music in converting to mp3... another sound quality issue but, let's not get into that.

I install modulators on everything from XM radios to mobile video. The average listener can't hear a difference in sound quality. However, I use high-quality modulators. A cheap $15 mod off eBay is going to sound like crap. Also, where you get power for the mod makes a difference. I always get power and ground for the mod at the radio harness. Almost eliminates any chance of a ground loop. I say go for it. The low volume issue can generally be corrected by the system's line out control... Good luck!
