Your Pioneer may be blowing. My alt wine started with a loud snap. Then the RCA's lost signle. Then little pops here and there off of deck power. Then the actual wine set in. Then there was random scratching. Now, I only get sound out of my front right speaker on deck power. Good thing it's still under warranty.

Its a pretty old HU. It has two sets of Preouts but 1 set of them dont work at all so I have My left preouts with some Y adapters in order to have 2 amps hooked up .

That's what happened to me. I just ran them on opposite sides and it fixed my problem.

I ran the RCA on opposites of the power wire and THe wine was reduced about 60 percent.
