Whenever I take sharp turns in either direction at faster than normal speeds, my music will begin to crackle. If I take the same turn at a slower speed, everything is ok. Anyone have ideas as to what may be shorting out and where?

Factory deck? Do you have aftermarket amps and shit? Its more than likely a loose/bad ground or the deck is poorly grounded through the mounting sleeve/bracket.

Aftermarket deck. But, I never had the issue last year so I question the mounting bracket theory. I will check it out though.

If you taped up any connection that you made, maybe the tape has moved it'self away from the connection and it is hitting metal. Or like Eric was suggesting, maybe the mounting bracket has come loose.
Wehn you put the deck in, what did you hook the ground wire up to? I know the factory ones are grounded thru the metal brackets on the side.
Btw, how's the exhaust sounding?

I will check the grounds, but I am fairly sure I used the same grounds as the factory deck.
The exhaust is not all the way on yet. I have everything but the muffler on, so its loud. I will let you know in a couple days. I had moved my stock hangers for the other exhaust I was running, so now I need to have them re-welded. Know anyone who will do it CHEAP?
