Punisher Bass

I have a 98 Buick Park Avenue Ultra that while old is very near and dear to my heart. But recently I had an issue come up where if the stereo was in a bad mood and felt a slight bump it would shoot up to full volume and scare me to death.
I took it to a local stereo repair shop and without even looking at or listening to the problem the guy just said it was the optical encoder and ballparked me $150 to fix it.
So instead I picked up a salvage unit from a 2000 model, put it in, and my problems are now even worse. Turning the volume knob has no effect on how loud it is and using the controls on the steering wheel will change it but only for a brief moment before going back to where it was.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated because I don't know if I've done something wrong, there's another issue I'm missing, or if the salvage unit is just broken as well.
The unit is a Delco Electronics 09350424, if more info than that is required to help just me know.
