This is common with pioneer head units, the rca jacks are not properly grounded and this lets engine noise come through the rcs cables. This thread explains a fix http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=337644.

Hello tonytone54, The ground should go directly to the vehicle frame, never through a cap, fuse, or anything else. Also, if you are connecting positive through a cap, make sure that you charge the cap before connecting it. Hope this helps.

Makeing poping noise

Although open shields on the head unit generally cause MTX amps to squeal, it can sometimes cause the symptoms you described. To check the shields, you will need a multimeter. The procedure is on the following page:

Testing for Open Shields on RCA Signal Cables

If the shileds are OK, we will have to check a few other things.
