Kicker Class D Amps

WHat's the deal with these amps and radio reception?

I have a DX700, and when it is powered up, I can't get squat on the radio. I realized the connection to that amp when it was out being repaired. I had great radio reception until I put it back in, then I might as well have disconnected the antenna.

Do I just need to run the power wire far away from the antenna lead?


TIA

That's about the only connection I would think. Try moving it and see what happens. That's weird.

Yeah, I though it was weird also, but I wanted to throw it out there and see if anyone else had heard of this. I knew that the topic would grab your attention, Polecat, and knowing that you are a part of the Kicker organization, maybe you know about it. Well, it'll probably be a couple weeks before I can get time to do, but I'll post again when I do try it out!

Oh yeah, I also wanted to mention that I have 2 ZR 120's in there that didn't cause an issue when the 700 was out.
Thanks.
