Am I the only one that thinks the sound quality stinks on Sirius? I have an '06 w/ the factory 6-disk HU. I've found several old threads on other random forums where people complain about the SQ, but I cant find anything recent. Is it just a matter of having a poor satellite reciever? Will upgrading to an aftermarket receiver/tuner improve the sound quality in my vehicle?
The quality of the Sirius satellite radio really depends on the other audio components... Quality speakers and amps plus a good HU will produce great sounds...
So I guess it IS just me then. Well, I'm currently in the process of piecing together a complete sound system upgrade (subs, amps, components), so I guess I need to add an aftermarket satellite receiver to the list now as well.
The sound I'm getting now sounds more like an AM broadcast. Like a low bit-rate signal.
I think it sounds fine. I wish I had a built in receiver instead of the add on unit, I'm running RCA cables into the back of my W200, I can get my iPod louder than the Sirius. but it sounds great regardless.

Mine sounds good. Since it isn't built into my radio, I have the actual Sirius radio that plugs into the trucks radio through the auxilary plug on the radio. At higher RPM's it makes a high pitch screech. For instance, at the top of 1st gear it screeches, top of 2nd, top of 3rd, then OD you can't hear it. It's not very loud but it's still there and annoying.
