Radio static
The box you describe is the 12 volt "filter" for the power. It contains 3 large capacitors (be careful, short one and it'll knock you on your rear -- big time). While capacitors can "go bad" -- it isn't likely.
Part of the 12 volt system is "filtered" (passing though the filter) and part is not. It is vital to make sure that the radio is wired into the filtered electrical system. Also, make sure that there isn't something wired in that crosses between the filtered and non filtered power source. (This is a matter of tracing out wires to ensure they're where they're supposed to be.) However, fluorescent lights (particularly ballasts) can generate RF signals that directly interfere with the radio signal. This is more frequent as the ballasts degrade over time. So you may need to "do" something about the fluorescent lights directly rather than a filtering problem. A radio shop may have a filter for the antenna wire -- or shielding -- that might solve the problem.
