Cost on fixing Pioneer's notorious noise

mine did the same thing, the reason was because i messed with a knob on my amp and it went into protect mode then ****ed up. so i took it out, its definitly the HU. So im never buying a pioneer again.
To each his own man but you messed with a knob on your amp, sent it into protect mode and you think it was your HU??? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

 
In the last 17 years I've owned 6 Pioneer, 1 Eclipse, 1 Denon and 1 Alpine headunits. I've had engine noise on 2 occasions: 1 - I used the factory ground when I didn't know any better yet. 2 - I used the deck power on my first ever deck and didn't have a good ground in my '79 Ford Pinto. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Other than that I've had NO problems with ground noise. Why??? Installation, thats why. I ground ALL my decks in the SAME place I ground everything else in my audio system, in the trunk where I'm sure there is enough good metal for a good ground. No noise for me.

I'm not saying there can't be faulty decks. But a cheap amp, cheap processor such as a in dash eq, trunk eq, trunk x-over or anything powered can introduce noise into a system. In my case it has it is NEVER the deck. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I would much rather pay a small repair fee than drop MORE coin on something new.
