Aftermarket CD Player

I asked this in the audio forum but got nothing, I have a 97 F-250 LD 4x4 Ext. cab. I installed a Alpine CDA-9856 using a wire harness and all that like you are supposed to do. i have installed countless car stereos and never had one do this. When I power it up I get a pop from the speakers like I can hear the juice when it kicks in. I'm sure its a simple fix but time is money these days and I have neither in a sense. Anyone got any knowledge please share.

Do you have an amp hooked up to the head unit?

It sounds like you have some sort of interference with the speaker wires and the power wire. Since you used the factory wiring harness I am not sure what to tell you other than putting one of those filters on the speaker wires.
