i have a problem with the stock bose system, when i listen to the radio the speakers sound fine, but as soon as i put the radio on it gets all fuzzy and loud noises like scratches? Bad ground? bad antenna wire? anybody else have this problem, again it only happens when the radio is on, not when the cd player is on. thanks

Check the ground and antenna wires, just like you said, More than likely it is the antenna wires, because a bad ground would interfere with the cd playback too..

My vert has a windshield antenna and a rear antenna, so yes, there may be.. Sometimes the wires are just loose, or dirty..

well i check the plug for the antenna and i cleaned it up, wasn't dirty but i did it anyway. where are the grounds? i heard there is a ground wire connecting to the exhaust, if i'm way off someone lead me in the right direction.
