Antenna ???


What do you boys think,I like the looks of 2 antennas on the bk.Figured I could use 1 for the org. radio,and another for am/fm?

But that might cause nothing but static also?Whats your thoughts on 1 or 2 antennas?

If you have 2 antennas connected to 2 separate radios, it should work fine.   Why do you think it would cause static?

Doug, honestly on a car like yours, it would make more sense to just have the one antenna at the back. I am assuming you are talking about rear mount antennas. Your car being that small, looks silly with two antennas at the rear. I really think the only cars that looked right with dual antennas at the rear, were the cars that actually offered them new. The cars from the era of 1957 to 1964 and full size cars like the Impala. If you need two antennas, why not hide one of them under the dash. Cheers. George.

One antenna on passenger side would look best, two antenna on full size cars. Hide the second under the dash, I used the wiring harness retainer tabs as a cradle for it in radio delete car.

You could use two power antenna's. Then you could put one or two up on any time.
