    Perhaps Captian Spam works for Polk. ;)

    I got the monthyl car and home audio threads around a week ago I think, but they seemed normal to me. I didn't order the XM tuner, so I wouldn't have got anything on that.

    Steve,
    cool! It looks like you're going to have a blast checking it out. A question for you: does XM antenna needs to be specific or it can be any regular tv/fm kind of antenna? Thanks,
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    You have to use a specific "xm" antenna. They are precisely impedance matched, so splicing them will ruin them as well. The tuner comes with an xm antenna.

    It's a small antenna, maybe 4" square.

    bummer, I was hoping that I can tag along either the DSS dish or the channel master (OTA HD and FM). Thanks anyway, do let us know how it goes.

    You can also use Sirius antennas if you want to.
