2010 LX W/ SI Stock Radio really low sound

Ok so I replaced the stock radio in my 2010 civic lx with one from a 2011 SI . Same fitment everything hooked up correctly settings gone through fuses checked everything seemed good but the volume on high of 40 although working but extremely low . Only thing I can think of is do SIs come with a factory amplifier that LXs don’t and would that cause the volume to be low?

In the Si it utilized an amplifier.... the LX does not have.

It is pretty much a line level output, that gets fed into the amplifier.

Radio from SI has to use external amp, your car does not have one.

Install correct radio!

It will likely not be plug & play. But could be accomplished.

Re: 2010 LX W/ SI Stock Radio really low sound

LX isn't prewired for amp, so there would have to be a whole lot of fabbing involved
