sound boi burial

looking for a sound boy to bury this issue... im recording my mixes externally in tsp2... all my levels and everything are good, no problem with sound quality once mix is done... when i listen to it on my macbook or on my ipod with head phones on... it sounds great... BUT the moment i play it on a car system, it sounds so quiet with almost no low end, and seems to only come out of maybe 2 speakers... any idea on what i can do to the finished wav form to help make it bump? much appreciation

Normalize it in Audacity

How are you playing it on your car system? Is it through one of those tape adapter things or are you plugging directly into your car stereo?

Add a compressor in a DAW and compress the shizzle outa it... Also buy a new car, any stuff i record sounds best through my car system

Screw compression. Your songs are already compressed and mastered.

Make sure your volume levels are consistent throughout the mix. Ideally by using gain correctly when recording, but you can tweak any quiet songs in audacity or a DAW afterwards (note I said songs, not parts. Quieter breakdowns are quiet for a reason). Then normalize. Done.
