    20140106_090054.jpg 20140104_134115.jpg Well none of that applies to my issue..I hear a slight engine whine but thats really really low,barely hear it actually..
    My issue is pluggin in the power fory gps and when i touch the gps screen..Also when i am goin down the road at speed i didnt really notice the amount of static till i let my truck coast..When i let it coast and foot off the fuel my radio was almost dead quiet but when i got back on the fuel,static started up again..
    Another question...
    If my antenna is about 5" closer to truck does that make any diff??
    I mounted my ant with a mount but it has to be closer to trk cause of the lil cross bar that steadys mirror arm..

    I have yet to hear a pre-amp that did anymore than just turning up the volume...They might slightly bring a station in a little better, but IMO that is lost to all the extra noise that also comes in...

    Now they may work allot better on a Base set-up running a yagi where you can cut out allot of ground noise and point your signal more directional towards a particular station...Haven't tried that, would be interesting to find out...

    I'm sure each install is different, heck mine quieted 1S just by tilting forward to 1:30 position.

    And the point of that comment was what? Get a life and go find somewhere else to troll. No one is impressed.

    I'm not trolling, I just think it is funny.

    Oh one thing is the word quality, you can't get that by using some of the junk on the market. Most of it is made from a poor old design.

    If you want to know what quality is, look for an amp that uses some hardcore power fets. I have yet to see a CB amp that has one in it.

    ####, why hasn't anyone thought of putting out a quality amp but you huh? Go figure! Now that I know no one else knows anything about amps, maybe you could build me one. :rolleyes:

    LMFAO, I've not read a helpful post from him in months... let him troll on.

    I'm told the Xforce is good, but he is also a one man operation... If that makes a diff? I know of 2 people running crazy 1kw-10kw power and are not splattering as much as I'd of thought.
