    A thing or two...
    I was just wondering if anyone else has problems with radio reception. Most stations seems to be weak and have a bit of static over them, but they come in fine in my work truck and my last car.

    Actually the non JBL radio I have gets the best reception in any factory or after market radio I have ever had. Though I will be replacing it soon for a new system. It even gets AM quite well and I have been able to listen football games on long road trips.
