Fm/Am Radio booster????

Here is the situation I have a JL500/1 amp Pioneer Mp 8400 and a Jl W3 12 sub. Whenever my amp is on ( I don use the remote wire dont need to this amp has a signal sensing feature) my radio signal fades dramatically I mean I cant get Flow 93.5 or 88.1, 89.5, 103.5 and so on but I can get 102.1 and 98.1. Where can I get a good radio booster from? Give me a number please Thanks..............

I had that problem too, but after I reconnected the power antenna wiring on my stereo harness I got them loud and clear again. But if you need something to boost signal, why not try audio shops like Technobay or Kennedy HiFi? They're in the 'pages, sorry I wish I had the numeros handy but I'm lazy and typing in my boxer shorts, what do you expect, ha ha.

I called Kennedy hifi and they said they dont sell them at all and I looked up Tecnobay and couldn't find them. Where do you hook up the power antenna wire to?

I wasn't aware the Civics had power antennas...? Unless of course you're referring to amplified antennas... But I also didn't know Civics came with those either. Usually it's only VWs that came with those.

need to know too, i was thinking that my DC to DC converter was too close to the antenna wire from my alpine deck or the cable wasn't in tight enough but no luck. This might just solve my radio problems also..

There's a wire coming off the OEM radio harness (green and something, I forget) that needs to get power, some harnesses don't have a hookup for it:
