I have an 02 dodge stratus r/t, a mitsubishi eclipse with dodge body panels.
Installed a new Pioneer DEH5800MP, decent head, but when i'm playing any music with the engine running, the speakers pop, not the usual buzz from a ground loop. They pop in time with the engine's idle spark firing.
Is the stock ground, head ground attached to sheet metal behind dash, not sufficient, or is there another issue at work?
i am an idiot

   You have a blown 1/4 amp surface mount fuse on the bottom of your Radio Circuit Board.      You can easily fix this problem by soldering a wire to the shield of your RCA cable  and ground the other end of the wire.   There is a picture to help you figure this out.  All you have to do is ground the end of the wire in the Pic.

There arent any RCA cables attached to the head unit. I havent installed any amps yet. The head unit is running to the stock speakers.

So instead of using the stock infiniti ground, i'm just gonna need to run the ground direct to chassis? nifty.

new chassis ground for headunit, direct to floor pan just below center console, cleaned metal of paint with a sander, just to be safe, i soldered the sucker on, in addition to a small sheet metal screw. Installed subs and sony class D amp, which made the popping from main speakers WORSE!!!! Subs dont pop though.

UPDATE:
Havent quite figured out whats going on with this issue. It seems to be electrical interference from the engine. It happens with the engine running, at cruise it doesnt pop, but under acceleration or at idle, it pops in time with the engine. All my grounds are secure, the stock infinity amplifier uses the speaker level output from the head unit so the stock infinity amp isnt being overloaded on the input side, ground loops have been declared null in this as well. Yet I have no clue as to what is going on. I'm beginning to think its related to the ignition circuit somewhere. Possibly a coil ready to die or a bad plug/wire
