All of the symptoms you are listing are the same exact symptoms of not having ground on the shield of the RCA cables.  If you put the fuses when you soldered the wires to the RCAs, you need to check the fuses.  Also use your meter and perform the test on the top of the page that showed you how to repair it.

Also you said you grounded every RCA, how is your radio configured, is there 4 mounted to back of radio and 2 on a short cable?  Or are all 6 mounted to back of radio?   If all 6 mounted, you should only ground 1 of them.  If 4 and 2, you should ground one of the 4 and one of the 2.  Grounding all 6 could be causing a ground loop.

It is not that easy to solder to the case of the radio.  If you remove the top cover of the deck and locate the Tuner assembly, it is very easy to solder to the tuner.

tonight i had a little extra time so i hooked up a differnt amp from the 3 i am using. it is a ppi amp. now, i am thinking the problem is a combination of the ground traces on the 3 amps and the grounding for the rca's.  when i hooked the ppi amp up and ran the car i still hear some noise but no where as loud as before,  if i remove the grounding for the rca's the noise gets very loud but not as loud as before. hopefully in the next few days when i have more time to mess around ill let you know what i experiance. im still thinking there might be something wrong with the radio or something because when i turn the volume from 0 to 1 i will hear like a click lick noise on the speakers, do you think this is because of the grouding on the rca's or the ground traces?

well you do have a pioneer radio and pioneers are notorious for having noise problems so my guess is that they are both messed up
