I dont get it. first I added a self powered bazooka tube (which sucked btw) because at high volume the high end would cut off bass (only 100 amp powered tube) so tonight I install a single 10inch speaker box and a fosgate 1000db amp now the radio reception sucks. any ideas why ? I have a good ground and have great rca"s coming off inline converter good remote off stock amp ect... wasnt a problem with the tube ?????????

Sounds like the remote turn on you found "off the stock amp" is the power wire for the amplified antenna. What happens if you disconnect the remote turn on wire?
