Jimmytee , I got caught up in the about the Rockford Fosgate stuff. Back to my original question about the antenna connection? I got the aftermarket with an extension cable, but the F6B antenna has special/different plug connector on it. Did you cut that connector and splice into it?, or did you find some kind of adapter. Also what aftermarket powered antenna did you go with?

I have an adapter, I believe, but don't think it was something I bought, it was just among the collection of stuff I had laying around. There are a few on this page. If I think about it, I'll look around and see which one it is.

I believe this is the one I used. It actually came from an install I had done in a Ford Econoline. I dunno it worked...lol

Honestly, it seemed to work at least as well as it did with the factory antenna hooked to the factory system. To be honest, I really don't use the terrestrial radio much if at all. I'm usually using Sirius XM ,USB, or Bluetooth I heart or Pandora from my phone. Living in Kentucky, terrestrial radio gets static and fades in and out with hills a bit. I'd post a picture of my antenna, but we don't have that feature back yet. You do know that the cable unplug from the bottom of the OEM antenna though right? The short cable that is attached to the Grey plug affixed to the antenna mounting bracket. A couple of the selections from the first page I linked to , are adapter kits. That might be the best route, then you can determine what works best.

Thanks, I did not know that that pigtail from the antenna unplugged. Glad to know and will try that adapter. I mostly listen to usb myself , but its good to have FM and this polk also has the WB. - if needed. Just a note, the album art does not show up with a usb. I have an old iPhone that I have plugged in and works great (found a use for it- instead of collecting dust).

Yeah that was my understanding if using a USB connected to an Android phone. You need an I phone for the album art. I most likely would the USB for a thumb drive anyways. Whenever I want content from my phone , I just use Bluetooth. The Sirius XM should have whatever graffics are transmitted from each station though.
