Black Al Capone or 55 Antenna????


Brotherman said:
I'm trying to decide between 2 capone antenna's or a 2 55 antenna's to run dual hots on my pickup truck, what would you recommend other than a 10k?

I already have a 10k and want something different to try!

Go with the 55 antennas.. A lot better then the 10k.. Been there and done that..

I doubt you will find anything better than a 10K. I have heard of the antennas and seen a few but have never used one my self. Although i do have a few friends that have used them in the past.

.......now they use 10K's!

I know he makes different models, not sure which one this is. He also makes a killer T antenna which a buddy of mine runs on a big truck with a 16 pill. I have his phone number, I've heard his prices are high compared to everybody else.
 
with out a doubt runnin two hots go with the 55's or another choise would be the bad boys. i have tried them both and like the bad boys a little better. but you won't go wrong with the 55. 55's & bad boy antennas put 10k's to sleep to get above the average antennas these are the way to go. heck a single capone blows away 10k's how many on the bowl run 55's,bad boys or capones and how many run 10k's. :twisted: :twisted:
 
heh I have a few friends including me running black Capones and won't change to anything other.....

2 driving 8
2 driving 8 driving 24
and the bigger one
2 driving 8 driving 16 into a 32 pill :)


we talk superbowl all the time :)


how many on the bowl run 55's,bad boys or capones and how many run 10k's. ...lol 10k's on the super bowl....not many!!!

Why do you say you like the bad boys better?

got my bad boys to tune out better, swr's and less reflect with my set up. puck mounts and same length coax just change antennas. seems also i just do better at key downs with the bad boys. but again you won't go wrong with the 55's. capones are great too but seem the 55's & bad boys work better when runnin 2 hots. :evil: :evil:
