Hen im going down the road on every station it goes in and out of reception and im not sure weather its my dual radio ( crap) or my anntenna

 

Are you located in the middle of nowhere or in the cities? It could be loose connection from the back of the head unit.

 

Im not in a downtown area im not in the middle of nowwhere either. I have perfect reception when i sit in my car and listen to music but when im driving it goes in and out of reception ever 3-4 seconds

 

What kind of radio?

 

Its a cheapo that came with the car its brand name is dual but i do know that it came from autozone...... I will be putting in a kenwood stereo after christmas

 

Its probably your h/u. Duals suck and I had the same happen to one I had after about a year. They are garbage.

 

Yes they are garbage.... I want to also replace all my speakers with some from kenwood so ill have a match.... Ive seen videos online and people say you need an adapter harness but since i already have a aftermarket piece of junk stereo will i still need one

 

It sounds like you might have a loose connection between you head unit and antenna. It dosen't sound like it would be the head unit do to the fact it works while your not moving. I would definitely check the connections or it would be your antenna. Is it doing anything else or just the cutting in and out?

 

It just cuts in and out like im not getting any reception and i know theyers reception my dads car is fine and doesnt cut out or nothing it only however it only does it on certain channels like i can listen to a local stAtion and have it cut out but i can listen to a radio station in ontario canada lol it doesnt make sence... Its nor the station it self because it does it with other ones

 

sounds like wiring problem, my brother in law installed a kenwood HU himself, and the radio signal fades when he's driving, as for the wiring harness, you might not need it since you already have an aftermarket HU but I'm not 100% on that,

 

I would defiently try the antenna first you can buy one from any parts store for less then 30. It really dosent sound like it would be the head unit. And if you change it make sure you were getting a good connection everywhere.

 

As far as the wiring harness goes I just cut out the harness and soldered it to my speakers, but unluckily my door speakers don't work and that ain't the problem, if you have Mach 460 it sucks lol. Have to replace my 460 and run new wires to the front and rear.

 

Im just gonna replace the HU because this thing is just crappy HU and doesnt sound that great anyway and i will be replacing the speakers too its a convertible so the speakers on the rear side panel have covers but the cover on one side is broke and the other one is missing so where can i find those speaker covers

 

The mesh like material? I think late model restoration has them. Someone does I've seen ten before

 

What are you talking about.... Im not talking bout the foamy crapp im talk bout the actual cover on the outside that hides the face of the speaker like this it looks like this

 

That's what I was talking about, just didn't know how to explain it lol.

 

Lol its cool

 

Ok so this is kinda off topic but I've got a 98 ford mustang 3.8 and I installed an after market radio well I went to try and take it out and I bent the clips so now it's stuck any ideas how to get the plastic trim around it off so I can fix the clips?

 

The plastic trim should just pop off with a flat head screw driver
