antenae for stereo

[sethashton]

How do I connect the old antenae, to a new stereo. After much thought and debate I have purchased a tuffy console the stereo slot. The console is charcole gray, looks nice. I also bought the bose 151's, which sound great. I must admit I completely copied the set up that landpimp has posted numerous times. Thanks Currently I just need to connect the antenae so the radio works, any suggestions..................

If I ever figure out how to post pics I will do so.

not sure I understand what the problem is. your antenna wire just plugs into the back of the stereo. My tuffy is not sealed underneath, and all my wires feed up through there, including power, speakers, and antenna.
Maybe your old antenna has a weird plug? I have the stock antenna on mine and it plugs right into the unit. You may need to get a new antennae if that is the case. Cool Cruisers sells antennas for cheap. The downside of the antenna is that unless you run the wire underneath the cab, its going to get stepped on. I have carpet in mine, so its not an issue for me.

I managed to re-route the antenae from the orginal location, up into the tuffy console. Only problem is that antenae has a plug type of connector which doens't seem compatable with the stereo? Any thought?

What kind of stereo is it? I know that GM radios (not that you'd put one of them in) have a smaller type plug. You can by an adapter at your local auto parts store, right next to where they stock the antenna extensions and aftermarket antennas. Hope this is what yer talking about.
