Amp mounted on rear seat bad fm reception

[richard200593]

This has been brought up in a few threads but I don't think ever completely answered so I'm hoping this thread will help those that are having the same problem I am/was having. A handful on here have had bad reception after a sub install I'm one of them, after playing around running a new remote and new ground wire I noticed when my rear seat is lowered the reception gets way better. Tried this on 6 different stations and every one was a success with seat lowered. Will be ordering ******** amp rack and moving my amp to the trunk to confirm but I am willing to bet those with fm issues have seat mounted amps. Can anyone confirm?

Interference cause by the type of amp that you are using. Which you confirmed by moving the amp. The solution is typically a new amp. I believe it's a "Class D" amp issue, based on numerous threads I recall reading here, but I could be wrong and I'm not searching for specifics.

Yea it is defintely because of having a class d amp but I'm just giving a second option if someone is having interference from their class d amp instead of buying a new one they can move the amp to the rear of the car and it will help drasticallyand save someone from buying a whole new amp

Any problems with XM or is it just FM?

Just FM, XM is not affected.
