I too have a Pioneer deck.. the P5900IB (or somethin' like that). One day while driving I jerked my car getting into gear and heard a God awful pop/thump and the worst engine noise I have ever heard in my life. I had to do a temporary ground from stereo chassis to one of the RCA output's "negatives". It "cured" the noise but the latent failure will have it's problems.... now it causes a fault back at the amp when RCA's are connected. Three out of 3 Pioneer decks have done this, brand new and perfect at first... then they do the engine noise/popping. I suspect the factory wiring and bad grounding using factory wiring.
