Has Anyone Figured Out A Solution To The Terrible Radio Reception?

I heard of wrapping the stock antenna in tin foil but I have no idea if that is true...Has anyone fixed this? Or do all of us who put in an aftermarket stereos with amps just deal with the horrible reception?

I have a class D JL mono amp...I even called up JL and they said that class D amps can interfere with radio reception...I thought maybe there was a fix... I know that the antennas in the rear window are connected to some sort of power/control source

the embeded antennas are ****. that's about it. amp it and you get louder ****. about the only way to improve would be to mount an external antenna. any wonder why people pay for sat. radio or like me, just listen to mp3's. of course, you could always have a broken or disconnected antenna, and you would have it even worse.
