Radio Sounds like crap now....
Friday, March 16, 2007 7:32 PM
I just installed my own deck, amp and subs....When i didnt have the amp and sub in....the radio came in really clear, ever since i ran my wires, the radio sounds like complete crap....Is it because of where i ran my wires?


Any help would be appreciated....Thanks in advance...Tom.

maybe your antenna adaptor is touching some metal, and picking up some outside interference. Just next time you install a HU wrap it in electrical tape.

I had that same problem the other day when I installed my new Pioneer head unit. The radio sounded horrible -- especially on AM. I pulled it out and discovered that the antenna adapter's metal outside was rubbing against the metal case of the stereo. Wrapped it up in electrical tape and also used a couple pices of tape to make sure it stayed plugged in. It's clear as a bell now.
