I won't rule that out as a possibility, as we listened to the satellite radio in stock stereos. One in a Jimmy and one in a Suzuki XL7.

But we couldn't tell the difference in those stereos between a non orignal cd and the satellite radio.

Never heard it in a proper sq setup.....

I assume you guys have heard it in a sq setup?

 

I have listen to them at the Best Buy displays numerous times....... The XM sounds more like AM radio to me. no highs no dynamics, sounds very flat....... I have heard FM sounding much much better!

Are their boards that bad? or it just suck!

 

^ They could be using an inferior power bar to supply the DC convertors..

Or maybe the tie wraps on the lighter plug wires aren't oriented correctly.

 

i believe it has more to do with not having the antenna properly aligned

 

^ yes, could be. Or maybe the wrong type of wax was used on the car..
