A sound system basically consists of 3 parts; a sound source, an amplifier, and speakers.

An amplifier can only amplify the signal so may times.

If the strength of the signal from the car CD player or radio is 10 and the strength of the signal from the mp3 player is 2, then at the same rate of amplification the mp3 player will be quieter than the car CD/radio.

It also depends on how you've hooked it up. If you're trying to power the speakers directly from the mp3, don't expect much, it's only sized to power headphones. You should have something called "line in" where the mp3 hooks up.
