hi guys, i just got new speakers installed at the rear and ever since that happened i've got really bad FM radio reception. could be a coincidence, but i'm thinking a wire or something has come loose at the back? the headunit was not touched at all. can anyone point me in the right direction towards a wire or anything?

i took a look in the boot and on the left hand side if u remove the panel theres a bunch of wires there.

btw i have a vdo head unit and the reception for radio has been clear for 2 yrs, now theres hissing and some static, depends which area i drive through.

cheers

All I can suggest is, disconnect the back speakers and see if the hissing disapears, then take it from there. It could have somthing to do with earthing...

Its an R33, the antenna is at the rear left. I think i'll open the boot and take out the rear left panel again and see if i can see anything wrong with the antenna leads, last time i took a look there a bunch of wires there and i didn't know which is which.

Didn't think it was necessary to ground the speakers? I thought you just need to ground the headunit.

I'll take some pics tomorrow.

i figured out why i have dodgy reception. when i installed my h/u i cbf going out n buying an antenna coversion plug, so i just soilded the wires together ect and i had an ect wire coming from somewhere so i left that unconnected. i think its the windscreen antenna thats not plugged in? but thats why its dodgy on mine.

i play cd's all the time anyway
