I'm looking for advice on what you guys do to hook up home stereo antennas.  I have an amplifier and tuner for my garage, and about 100ft of co-ax cable.  The tuner has 2 spring clips for the FM antenna input.  How should I hook up the Co-ax to the tuner, and do I use the co-ax as the antenna or do you guys connect the co-ax to some other metal antenna outside?  Any advice?  Thanks.

Run the coax to a cable TV splitter in the house, if you have cable TV service, since there are usually FM stations on cable. Otherwise, the best antenna is a big Yagi antenna, high up on a mast with a remote controller rotator so you can aim it at distant stations. But if you're in an urban area, you might do just fine with a rabbit ear or the basic twinlead T antenna that comes in the box. Or, a compromise would be a smaller Yagi antenna up in the rafters with some way to turn it from below.
Is this bass really strong enough?
