    Which Canton Model to Replace Minimus 7s for Low Vol Listening?

I read somewhere that Canton also makes a small speaker that would be an improvement to the Min7 in this...

    Extremely low volume output with my JVC KD-V6

    Recently picked up this deck off eBay with the seller claiming "low volume output." I assumed it might have just been a little difficult to hear, but apparently "low volume" was a bit of an understatement.
