C6 FM Antenna?
Where is the antenna? Anyone have a picture of it?
I installed an DNX9140 along with a JL HD900/5 with components and a sub. Before putting everything back together, the FM radio seemed to work well. It is now has poor reception and there is a lot of static.
Thanks,
Dave

The C6 antenna is a set of wires and power modules hidden inside the rear fascia. Since you have an aftermarket amp I'm guessing you didn't hook up the radio's remote amp wire to the oem car harness (via interface adapter). If you connect switched +12v to the harness wire that mates with white wire at B3 in oem harness (probably blue wire on interface adapter), that will essentially power half of the antenna modules, and should improve your reception. If it still isn't acceptable you can rig up and add +5vdc to the yellow wire at A4, but that is only helpful when playing FM, and it may cause other problems. Check out this thread for more detailed info (go straight to post #15 if you're in a hurry). C6 Schematics are available here if you need them.
