Default My Deck- Radio Problem

Okay so i have replaced my factory deck to a Kenwood aftermarket deck(Kenwood DNX7160). Doing so has stopped my AM radio from working. Any suggestions on how to get this to work? i went to the shop that did my Subwoofer install and they added a HUGE antenna to the roof, they said that is the only way to get it to work. I am pretty sure i can do something else to get it to work, can someone please help me!

Any help would be greatly appreciated

im curious what u started with and ended with as an am/fm radio?

my stock radio works well with the stock side mount ant, am,fm.

i think the BIG antenna is a "baffle with bs" response to another problem

what radio,how is it connected?

I started with the stock radio/deck that the Hummer came with, i wanted to customize my hummer for shows which i have, so i changed the entire deck and now the FM works perfectly fine it's just the AM i am having problems with, im pretty sure its because the antenna. I do not have one of the antennas on the front left or the little one on the roof.

Alot of times changing headunits can bring down the freq. on radio stations. I had an alpine installed on another car and the Am never worked and FM was really weak. I use CD's and ipod so its not a big deal for me.
