Question

Is this with FM or AM, some or all stations? Did it do it before you installed the amps? Have you already checked the antenna cable connection fron the radio to the antenna ?

It worked fine before I installed the amps. Its both AM and FM the only thing I can think it is would be that the power wire is to close to the antenna wire but I made sure when i ran the power wire that it was no where near it.

Thumbs up

Double check the antenna cable connection from the radio to the antenna,and the cable itself.

If you think it's the amp try moving the amp ground location, and see if that helps.

Yeah, I agree sounds like your antenna's not connected.
