actually it's a thing with some sound streams and polk has ss copies so makes since.. i had concept 1200 did it 12 yrs ago with this car we switched amp it stopped..An amp that blocks out radio reception? Now that's something I haven't heard before.
I’d throw Kicker in that ring.If I'm going mainstream I would get an Alpine or JBL for mids n highs.
My installer went thru numerous potential fixes to get the radio reception to come in and nothing helped so we decided to call Polk to see if they could help. The techs there were great and said that this problem isn't a new one. Once we threw my friends Class AB amp in the car the radio worked perfectly. The Polk tech was great - he even went on Crutchfield and suggested that Focal amp for me. I'm not familiar with that brand and that's why I thought I'd reach out here to get some help on what to buy. TIA, BobAn amp that blocks out radio reception?

Ive heard of it happening before but it’s normally fixed by moving the amp away from the antenna.My installer went thru numerous potential fixes to get the radio reception to come in and nothing helped so we decided to call Polk to see if they could help.

run a dedicated ground.Thanks for the replies - I'll look into the suggestions - PLEASE keep them coming !!
I can only use a Class AB amp in my car. I have a Polk Audio PA D4000.4 which I am very happy with but because it is a Class D amp it blocks out any radio reception I could be getting. I spoke with Polk about this problem and they said that my fibreglas car has a poor ground and the high frequencies generated by CLass D amps can cause this problem . Since they don't make a Class AB amp - they recommended the Focal amp. We installed a friends Class AB amp and the radio reception was perfect. Hope this clarifies why I need a Class AB - I'm not real knowledgeable about all this so this is all I can tell you about my needs.
