Aftermarket stereo hiss and poor FM reception

I get one radio station nearly perfectly. All others, yes, all others, are either static or do not come in clear enough to discern anything. My wife's car gets maybe 30 stations clearly.

I think that it may be the FM booster? but I am neither certain on how to confirm this, nor do I know how I could resolve it.
