I just bought a pioneer deck (deh-6500) and everything has been running fine in my car for about a week (i've been running two subs with an amp for almost a year now) then all of a sudden my speakers distored hardcore and i lost power in my car. Is it the new deck i bought or do i just need a new alternator. also if it is the deck would it be possible to get a pioneer deck that doesn't suck so much power? PLEASE ANY HELP.
the battery may be bad, the connections to the battery terminals could be loose, or the alternator bit the dust. any AutoZone type place can test the battery and alternator, as well as your starter for you, usually for free.
