hey i just bought an antenna adaptor for my 94 regal and the stock antenna + antenna adaptor wont reach my deck. i was just wondering what would be my best option for extending it so it will reach? should i cut a wire and add a random piece as an extension? or do i have to buy something? any help is good help, thanks.

 

Just cut, splice and add . Make sure to relink/rebraid both the copper braiding and the main pin ends well. (Re)Use a piece of plastic jacketing to cover the main pin run from the copper braiding. I did the same for my 95 Regal and have had no problems.

 

^ A 12" antenna extension is $5...

 

radio? who needs a radio!

mock ya, ing ya......

id say do teh extension. especially if you havent tried it before. cause if you fail remaking the one wire you wont be able to put the cap back on and use teh extension

i dont know what an antenna wire is like im guessing like a cable tv wire which are a bitch

 

^ Exactly - generally a single hair thin centre wire in a hollow core with a woven shield.

I've fixed chopped antenna cables before but if one has the option - buy an extension rather than rathacking the factory cable.

 

okay i cut and extended the wire. i used 8 guage wire (i think) and it worked fine. thanks for all the help.

 

thats a big damn antenna wire :|

 

That's easily the dumbest thing I have heard in a month.

Sorry if that offends you but good glory...


Five bloody dollars...

 

Dumbest in a month.....have you not been reading the forms.........I mean you replied to the jumper cable power wire thread~!

 

That was close but, really, that appearedto be an uniformed decisision. A noob mistake if you will..

Here a low cost PROPER solution was offered and ignored. That's worth a ride on the short bus...
