there's a place in the middle of the rear of the deck where a screw that came in a bag of parts with the deck goes in. if you lost or threw away that little bag of parts that came with your deck, maybe it's a common size a hardware store has. you'll want to attach at 16 or 14awg wire with a ring terminal crimped to the end to the back of the deck.

possibly but not sure. if your getting major alty whine with the rca's plugged into the amps you probably blew that little fuse that's half the size of an eyelash. best thing you could do to troubleshoot is borrow someones deck, hook it up, and see of the noise stops. i keep a spare deck around specially for this reason.

He never gave an explanation for the bad noise suppressors though. Mine was grounded using the factory harness and I had no noise problems. I just had mechanical problems with the face.

you got lucky on the grounding issue. my guess is some stock wiring is heavier than others.

most likely. best way to prevent the weak fuse from popping is to doubleground the headunit to a heavyduty ground. just using the stock harness or just using the main ground directly to the battery or frame is asking for trouble. this info is coming straight from a local pioneer benchtech that is trying to keep the same pioneer from coming back twice. one day i walked in to ask about getting an amp fixed and he had pioneer decks stacked to the cieling all with the same problem

Awesome...looks like I'll be sending mine back.

Just got a Pioneer DEH-P880PRS, I connected the ground to the harness on my 1999 Olds Intrigue...thought it would suffice (my clarion had no problem with it)...guess not.

I'm getting hissing sounds on volume 1...goes away on volume 0 of course. It stays constant though, doesn't get louder as volume is turned up, but it does overpower the music. It just hisses with the ignition off.

With the ignition on....some loud as hell noise, sounds like a constant bass test tone.

I have the internal amp turned off, all externally amplified.

Guess my microfuse is blown? I grounded the chassis and the ground wire from the stereo harness to the vehicle chassis afterwards...but no dice, except the battery voltage meter went up to 14.4.
