+1 for the GME XRS.
I got the GME XRS Connect 4WD pack a few months ago at end of financial year sale time. I paid $519 delivered from Ryda via eBay.
Last year I was looking around Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales (November) and almost pulled the trigger on a GME XRS Connect Outback pack from Autobarns website for $480, but I really wanted the 4WD pack.
There are deals to be had if you can time it with those big sales.

I did just that, and for the same reasons. Used a speaker recovered from an old hands-free mobile phone car kit and made a little bracket that mounted under the rear door hand grip with wiring all concealed - no tek screws required and can be restored to original if required.spkr.jpeg

I did this at the same time I changed the radio to the GME. The speaker is completely redundant with the sound quality and volume that comes out of the hand piece.

I've just got a GME TX4500 and very happy with it. . Nice and simple has knobs which are easy to operate, sound is good. Have a GME XRS in the work ute, sure it's fine but find it hard to work out the menus etc all of the button's on the hand piece. Me and tech don't mix too well tho lol. . .

Maybe sound deadening and fastening whatever rattlening body panels would be better on ya ears than a more powerful speaker. I don't know, when you say you can't hear anything on your running car makes me wonder if a louder CB, louder stereo, etc would actually be doing you damage instead.

Yeah the speaker itself isn't working the best, I think it has been damaged as well, it's a bit muffled too.

Have a look at replacing the speaker, thousands of bits avail, Jaycar for a start perhaps?
