i just installed an amp in my ultra and i lost a lot of reception on my fm.has anyone else had this problem,and how did you resolve it?thanks

 

It seems all small footprint Class D amplifiers affect FM reception. I went from great FM reception with a powered hidden antenna to little reception when I installed a CV B52 I my fairing, but since I stream all my music from my phone I'm good with it.

 

I found my phone chargers were giving me problems while charging.

 

What amp and speakers are you running? Only a few class D amps that don't interfere with radio reception.

 

i'm curious too as i dont want to run into this!

Damn near no way around it with Class D amps other than a couple exceptions.
Due to the harsh audio environmental factors associated with sled audio u want the absolute best quality sound moving out of your head unit cause ever damn inch that sound travels its getting kidney punched by wind, exhaust noise, etc.... FM sucks to begin with so u won't find too many folks that dive into the sled audio deep end using FM as their audio source. iPhone, iPod, Android, Pandora, Sirius etc is the way to go.
I know it sounds crazy, but once u transition to a good quality audio source platform u will never look back.

Hawg50 ,,,,,

which amp did you install and are you still running the stock rear mounted AM/FM antenna on the Ultra Tail Trunk ?

 

its a soundstream 300 amp,with 6 1/2 arc speakers in the front and jm moved to the rear,stock antenna location on the tour pack.

 

about a week with the RF TM400x4 and no noticeable loss of fm performance....just my findings so far.
