IPhone 4 Speakephone is terrible. WTF apple?
Why is the iPhone speakerphone so quiet? I can barely hear anything when I'm driving. Is there no way to increase the volume Through software or hardware mods?

There are no mods possible that can be discussed here. Google is your friend.
I'm assuming you've turned the volume all the way up while you're on speakerphone?

Because Apple thinks you should be more considerate of others around you and use a headset.
People around me in my car? If you don't have anything useful to say keep your mouth shut.
If the phone is new then you may want to take it in. When my phone is on speakerphone it is very loud, or at least rather clear. I don't believe there are any volume limiters for voice such as there are for iPad (where you can specify a volume limit in settings)
Paulcb,

Are there any fixes that don't require jailbreaking your iPhone?
No.
JMACTAGULAR,
I know it might seem lame to suggest a work around, but this worked for me until I went to a Bluetooth device. I have a belt holder and cover system on my iPhone 4 that allows me to invert the phone in the holder. That is to say, the bottom is pointed up towards you while you are seated in your car. This directs the sound up to your ears rather than down at the seat. It's cheap and effective and I use this system even when I'm connected to the Bluetooth device. Not sure what your local laws require while driving, most require some sort of speaker phone, wired, or wireless device. I know you mentioned holding the phone in your hand, but maybe you should consider a Bluetooth device or use your iPhone's earphones with the mic. The Bluetooth solution isn't as cheap as just pointing the phone up, but for me it works more reliably than pointing the phone up.
