Speaker noise.
Installed my Kenwood 6960 system. Installer hooked up back stock speakers. I think he went through the stock bose amp. When there is little to no volume you can here alot of feedback / static through them. Very annoying. Is it the stock amp or the bad speakers, or both? Also had front focal speakers installed with Kenwood amp powering them. When I hit the brakes or use the turning signals at low volume I can here it through the speakers. Bad ground? Last of all I have installed (2) different sirius systems on this car. I have had the antennas mounted everywhere from inside to dead center outside. Still get the annoying "Aquiring signal". Are these cars just prone to bad satelitte radio? I have (2) other cars that run it flawlessly. Thanks.

Sirius is notoriously difficult in these cars. First of all Sirius is notoriously difficult period, even in a factory install, but then you combine the plastic body panels of our cars where they can't use it as an antenna and it makes it all the worse.
