Just put it on! It should only take about 15 seconds LOL.

 

haha def^. Just one question? Any way to improve signal at all? I mean i rarely listen to the radio but sometimes I do and the reception is so-so... But man it looks awesome fing02.gif

 

I didn't write this, just found it. I'm sorry that the reception isn't up to par. Everyone else has had no problems with the reception. Interesting since you live in a large city.


<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (some random site)</div><div class='quotemain'>In addition to stock antennas, several different aftermarket manufacturers also produce antenna products. These can range from an exact OEM replica to something that is fairly exotic. Usually, the consumer has the option of purchasing these aftermarket antennas either with or without a built in pre-amplifier.

In simplest terms, an antenna pre-amplifier takes the current variations in the antenna and amplifies them prior to the tuner. The effect of this pre-amplification process can produce results ranging from good to bad. On the good side, a high-quality pre-amplified antenna can extend the usable range of an FM tuner. Weak signals become stronger and thus are of a higher quality. On the bad side, a pre-amplifier amplifies everything. This includes broadcast stations, natural noise, man-made noise, everything. In addition, a pre-amplified antenna can have a detrimental effect on reception by reducing the tuner's selectivity or ability to single out a specific station.

Another form of antenna pre-amplifier is the antenna booster. Usually, these devices come in the form of a "black-box" that plugs in between the existing antenna and tuner. As a general rule, a booster doesn't work as well as an antenna preamplifier since the actual antenna and booster circuitry are not optimized for each other.

Based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend a pre-amplified antenna or antenna booster for large metropolitan areas. Rural or fringe areas are another matter. A good, high quality pre-amplified antenna or booster just might be the ticket for converting a marginal signal into one that is acceptable.</div>

 

Got mine in today, and I hate to say but the same thing happened. It snapped off from the base while I was hand-tightening it. I put it back together with some heavy duty metal cement, it's the only adhesive I have in the house right now. lol.
I'll see how she holds up in the morning.
Looks good though, hopefully it'll hold up in heavy winds! cool.gif

 

Oh man! I read that post right before I went to the P.O. to mail you another!

Well let me know if your whole heavy duty metal cement stuff works, and if it doesn't, I'll get a new one out to you. fing02.gif

I've tried a couple of different adhesives but it keeps breaking away. Caked it this last time with some super glue and let it cure for 2 days before touching it again or putting it on, however when I checked it today on the car it snapped off again. If you can send me another one, one of those stronger ones you mentioned in your last reply to my post, that'd be great. Let me know if you want me to send this one back or what. And, if you'd like me to try some other adhesive, let me know what and where the best place to get it is and I'll give it a try. Thanks.

 

i got mine paul two days after i emailed you. great addon here guys, i noticed no reception loss whatsoever.

 

I CANT WAIT FOR THESE TO GO ON SALE!!!!! I'm kicking myself for not getting the money in time for the GB!
