i just got my new deck and speakers installed, but i noticed that im getting more static than i was when i had my stock HU and speakers. does this mean the wiring was done bad or something else?

UPDATE: so i just got finished talking to the best buy installer and he said that its common to get more static with aftermarket HU. i asked him about the power wire for the antenna (blue wire) amp and he said its connected and all. the only probably would probably be the deck being an aftermarket HU. he suggested i get a Radio Enhancer to enhance the radio which plugs right behind the HU. are any of you experiencing this problem with the X100? also i am running a 350z antenna.... could that be the problem?

 

i think it means theres a bad ground

 

bad ground? can you elaborate?

 

Well i dont know if im correct, but in my other car i was getting alot of static through my speakers. i went and rechecked all of the wiring and the headunit wasnt grounded properly, so i had to find a new place to ground the headunit and that took care of my problem.

so maybe you can check the ground wire for an easy fix,

Did you do the install yourself?

 

orrr waiittt, your the guy that got it done at bestbuy right?

 

haha yup im the guy that got it at best buy. i got my deck and speakers installed at best buy and when i was driving home i noticed i got more static from radio stations that normally didnt give me static with my stock HU and speakers. so i guess i should consult the ppl at best buy about my problem. do you know if its an easy fix? or a major problem? i was so excited about my new HU/speakers now im like

 

yeah, id just take it back to them, should be a easy fix at no cost to you lol

 

nice cool thanks man!

 

if the static is only on the radio, it's likely because they didn't hook
up the power antenna wire - the s2000 has an amplified antenna
which is powered off the power antenna wire like a retractable
antenna would be.

 

would they be able to hook up the power wire to the new HU without a problem or do i have to purchase something else to make it work? do i have to have an s2k antenna or a different antenna (e.g. a 350z antenna)?
