Midnite Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 Had this same problem, try grounding the RCAs, if that doesnt work replace them, and if that doesnt fix it is the radio. Pioneers are bad about the internal ground going out and causing noise. even my deh-980bt has this problem. I spent probably 2 weeks trying to figure our where the noise was coming from and its the radio. Did a install in a guys truck yesterday that had a DEH 6800 and it had aweful noise, replaced it with a Kenwood and the problem was solved.

slim8605 Posted September 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 so many people dont strip the paint from the metalalso is the sound like a popping or a low hum? Yea the sound is like a low hum. I didn't have time to check it out today but I will tomorrow to see if it's the ground. I can't remember,but I probably didn't scrap all the paint of when I grounded it. I re-ran some wires and added new ring terminals yesterday so it was probably just something I overlooked.
