lombo352 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Just installed my new amp today and hardly any of the radio stations are coming in... the local stereo shop said that the dx line interfere with the rf signals for the radio stations and there is nothing that can be done about it other than puting the amp in a metal box...anyone know of a fix for this? 96 Ram Build

Rebel4055 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Try disconnecting the neg battery terminal for 10 minutes. what would that do? Resets stuff, I had a similar issue with my Pontiac a few years ago where the radio stations would not work at all. Just static and I disconnected the battery for something and it started working again. Rest In Peace mother.

EclipseChris Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 I have never heard of any of the techniques said on here already ( disconnecting batt for 10 mins, metal box, etc) My question is what does adding an amp have anything to do with the signal the radio receives? i resolve to be a nicer moderator. Tercel build R.I.P. Eclipse build Old New V-Dub My feedback.

Personal experience is where my idea is from. And the issue I had came out of no where. Rest In Peace mother.
