car antenna question
i have a sirius radio antenna on my roof for my sirius radio..obviously... anyways, how is an antenna wired? i had an idea that i wanted to run by some of the seasoned audio people. can i cut off the end of the antenna and splice or tap it into the factory radio antenna wire so it will share an antenna? i do not like having that magnetic antenna on my car because it tends to scratch it. any ideas?

ok i understand now. well i had the sirius antenna right above my drivers door and i moved it last night to run through the car and out the hatch, but now it makes a turbo whining noise which i guess in the interference between the 2 antennas?

I ran my antenna threw the firewall and placed it inside the cold air intake for the inside of the car. Its hidden and well protected and still gets good reception..

i figured out what it was, my audio cable going from the sirius unit to the aux input was broken. put a new one on, good as new. :) i do like the idea of the shark antenna though
