Pump up the Volume, Please!!!

Why the hell is this Bose Audio system so damn weak!!!
___________
Intro: BLK 2001 3.2 CL-TYPE S W/ Navigation, Add Ons; SPOILER, VISOR, NOSE GUARD, WOOD TRIM KIT, MUD GUARDS, BURLWOOD SHIFT KNOB, CARGO NET, GOLD EMBLEM KIT, GOLD GRILLEs...
________________________
This is all good but if you're 18-24 like me you need a kick ass stereo system..(Especialy if you're into Hip-Hop/Rock) I have to crank this thing up full volume to get to where my 2001 Cadi Deville DTS is with knob turned only at 3/4 of the way... I'm dissapointed at the power of this Acura BOSE system.. I can actually have a conversation with someone in the car with the radio cranked at MAX :0(..

Cons:
= Worst when playing radio.. Playing CDs (original/burned)is noticably louder..
- Needs a mute button
- Needs some preset settings (i.e.ROCK/JAZZ?TALK)
- Needs to be freaggin' louder!!!

I need some mods that won't compromise the BOSE crisp sound tho... However, I do want volume loud enough so you can't hear a screaming baby in the back seat.. :-)

- Please help on possible audio mods to just get the volume level much higher.. And where to place Subwoofer/speaker cabinets or if factory speakers need replacement at all.. Thnx...

All our system needs is a little KICK in the ASS or “KICKER” in my case.
The addition of a Subwoofer makes a world of difference to the factory “BLOWS” system.
