removed jbl amp now I get Bad AM reception
After realizing the stock jbl amp and nav setup wasn't cutting it soundwise I decided to rip everything out and install new speakers and a 5 channel Infinity 5350a amplifier. I had already replaced the head unit with a Dual XHD7714 and was using the PAC TATO interface. All the new components sound much better then the old system and I'm pretty happy with it. However I have a strange issue with AM radio reception. I can barely hear any AM radio stations after the removal of the old components. At first I thought I must have not plugged the antenna cable in properly but I disassembled my deck and reseated the cable but the reception is still terrible. I'm thinking that the hookups to the old JBL amp may have had some connection to the antenna??? I'm at a loss as to why the reception is so poor now and before the installation it was fine. Any help would be appreciated.
