I have this inexpensive Alpine deck that is probably about a couple years old and recently it started acting weird. If you took the volume to the 20 level it would seem to "skip" almost like clipping but not cutting off... It seems almost like when you listen to the radio and drive through an area with bad reception that it comes in and out...
I pulled the deck and all the connections are perfect. I pulled the speakers and the connections had a little corrosion. I cleaned them but nothing changed. I replaced the speakers to see if it would help. Still nothing. I went back to the amp (an older Orion 5 channel) and turned everything down just to try and rule it out... Didn't really help much.
Is this deck FUBAR? We had swapped it in from an old JVC which finally crapped out. I have a Sony and a Pioneer in the other cars and they've never had issues. I went with Alpine as I thought it had a good reputation for quality over the other brands. Was I mistaken? In the even that the deck has to go, what is a good recommendation? I need front and rear speaker pre-outs as well as a sub pre-out. CD player and some aux input is ideal.
This is for a dd car, not a tr.
Any input is appreciated.
