Default fuzzy reception...

Ok anytime my amp is turned on it causes my radio to loose reception... If I turn off my amp the reception is restored like nothing is wrong... Im running a factory deck, power wire down pass side, acc wire from fuse box down drivers side, PAC converter tapped into rear speakers and ground wire to the pass side rear seatbelt mount.

Ive run this amp and subs in my other cars with no similar problems... but could the line converter be casuing the feed back problem? I plan on getting a double din soon but its not a priority as the stock deck sounds fine for now.

Is your power antenna still working? It sounds like maybe the antenna is retracting when the amp goes on. Did you use the power antenna control wire as your amp remote?
