indash pioneer craps out

[jonbearsmt 919]

im off this weekend,

everytime im off for the weekend i tow my car to work.....

when i got to work i unloaded my car.. and started playin with my audio....

i rolled my h/u volume up to 27... wanged for 30 seconds.. then my subs cut off and a nasty sound came from the comps.....

pop my trunk my 3000d is in protection!

my sax is fine.. but makin the nasty noise.....

i DMM my amp power and check my ohms.... all is good.....

i turn my car off flip my breaker into "off"

restart my car... ugly noise remains.... flip my breaker back on for my saz... and it plays.... i roll my h/u back up and back into protection.....

so the same thing over again but this time keep the volume low... my subs are pulsing.... and my comps are nasty with motor noise and more!!

same thing as last time....

1 year 2 times........

what could be going wrong?

Ground in the dash faulty? Pinched RCA's?

i dont have any problems in play any other time!..... i switch the deck out..my spare works fine!

i send my inshad out for repair... i slap it back in my dash and its fine..... untill it happends again...

perhaps this time when i get it back from repair ill run another ground just for my h/u.

i always run a individual ground wire to all the HU's i install just to be safe and so far no problems.

If you're having the problem I think you are...

I know how to remedy it... doesn't fix it but suppresses the noise..

run a wire (18ga-ish) from one rca outer and run the wire to the outer jacket on your antenna lead (antenna has to be plugged in).. worked on every pioneer I've had do the same thing... I usually make 6months or so before they do it... I believe I was told it was a resistor problem in the board and is an easy fix... I'm not much for tearing apart the deck and fixing it though..

last time it was indeed a resistor problem ...... i dont even have an antenna hooked up!.... i run cds mps and dvds only!...

today i remote started my car... and when i opened my door.. my comps were screething again.... i sat in my seat and smelled a problem seconds later smoke was rolling from my doors...... i let the smoke out of my cross overs as it seems.......

and this is with a whole nother deck

i have NEVER had so many probems...EVEER

Here is a thread on SMD that talks about that same fix. Link

i have read about this,......

as many other stated.. i did have a small amount of motor noise before...... but it was a very small amount.....

now it is VERY loud!....its not just a little loud... its alot loud....

i plan on trying this anyhow.. but my problem is none of my rca's are on the rear of the deck... they are all on wires..... any guess on a good way to gound them seein as they are away from the h/u

the way I described does the best job at getting rid of almost all the noise.

just strip back about 1.5" of wire and wrap it around the outside metal on the rca then run the wire to the antenna strip back wire and stick in the plug when you hook it to the car if you don't have an antenna the next best is the chassis of the deck then the chassis of the car (from my experience the antenna is the only way to get rid of almost all of the noise)

This fix worked in both my Mazda and in my civic... I had about 6 different units that had the same issue..
