Hi guys. Id like to install a high powered FM antenna in my car. It does not need to replace the stock antenna.

I did a search on ebay and there's just thousands of products. Does Terk make a car FM antenna?

Have you ever installed an after market antenna in your car?

Thanks,

Sal

You must be really hungry if you're ready to eat an antenna. :eek::D

Are you still on a restricted diet?

Are you wanting to get better reception, or are you getting rid of a stock antenna or does it have problems?

I've never came across a powered antenna that worked better than the stock one (assuming its fine)

maybe it's just my current apline HU but the reception is crap. the Alpine HU I had before the current one had great reception.

My wife has that nice little factory made shark fin on the top of her car and I thought it would be cool to add one if it gave me better reception.

I guess I need to put in the new HU first and see how the reception is before resplacing th antenna

Not really, I can eat almost anything now and I've been really hungry lately and I was getting worried about it but I weighed myself the yesterday and I lost another 2 lbs, So I guess my body needs the extra food.

What is the year, make and model of your car? From that I will be able to tell you if a new or different antenna will make a difference.
