I chopped my factory antenna down to about 7 inches high. Now my radio reception is pretty poor. (No surprise) I want to run an additional antenna by using a y-adapter on the back of my radio. Will the reception improve with a second antenna mounted inside the car? Will the antennas have interference with each other? Where inside the car should I mount my second antenna?

 

If you must run a antenna inside, get an amplified on glass antenna from your local stereo retailer. They work fairly well. Of course you can just get a regular antenna and tuck it up in your dash. It will pick up local stations decently. We have used the on glass antennas at our stereo shop several times and they work pretty good. I would not use a y-adaptor and use both antennas.

 

why not just install a power antenna.
