Radio buzzing

What causes the radio to buzz like crazy. Bad ground on the radio, bad ground on the dist? I hit a pretty nasty little bump in the road the other day and now my radio is all jacked up. I think it is just the radio because when I turn it off the buzzing goes away, even though the amps are still on. Thanks guys. Man it is always something.

Re: Radio buzzing

I have heard of "non-spiral" plug wires causing it, but not after a bump. They sell a filter but can't handle amps... good luck
