If you are getting "crunchy" audio, it means volume clipping is occurring - before converting try lowering the overall volume (or volume for that section) so that after conversion, none of the peaks of the audio wave get clipped off.
If it sounds fuzzy or distorted in this section, try using the equalizer to reduce the volume of the bandwidths around the fringes (i.e. <100Hz and >10000Hz).
Alas, the 11025Hz limit does mean that even after all that, some songs just won't ever sound good over the voice system (i.e. heavy bass and heavy metal).

Not much change, but give it a try:
(high-pass filter: 11000Hz, Amplify: -2, GraphicEQ: dropoff < 100Hz)
