Posting this to see if anyone has any experience with after market antennas?
I have a pioneer single din deck and the reception is dog shit! I do have a shorty antenna ( approx. 12-14 in. ), but even with the factory bull whip the reception sucks. I want to go with the aftermarket for a few reasons so I was just wondering which if any are worth it.
Id prefer to get one of the shark fin style that I can mount to the rear center of the cab ( like done on newer vehicles these days ). I don't mind drilling a hole into the roof as long as the antenna works. I would consider another style of antenna that would mount to the roof and can be paint matched. I want to avoid an antenna in the factory location, I think it looks ugly! I have also seen some that attach to the back glass, but not sure how well those work either.
Any light on the subject would be awesome
Thanks
