I texted Milo.
I had a very annoying speaker hiss with a Fusion unit. Happened w genny running AND engines running. Went through quite the same bs as you. It was the Fusion. Bought a new one and it’s all good. This is a known issue w Fusion HUs and RCAs. Not only did I get a hiss.....but my zone controls would control the other zones. Ie: when I turned up my flybridge zone, my cockpit/aft deck speakers would make noise.
I’m thinking there is a problem eith the fusion units, I noticed the zones bleeding over yesterday too. What head unit did you end up with?
Sorry to hear about the issues with your Fusion. I'd recommend sending it back for a new one since that doesn't sound like an issue generally found in any modern equipment. Likely a defect. I just installed a new Apollo three weeks ago and absolutely love it. No noise issues at all. But I also replaced everything and didn't hook it up to the old speakers or wiring. New JLA speakers and sub with JLA 600/6 amp, and 12 ga twisted speaker wire.I had Milo out on the boat this morning and plugged in an inexpensive JL Audio BT module. Sounded great! Had a dockmate who manufactures high end audio gear, and we all agreed the fusion Apollo is junk.
Everyone is recommending the JL Audio, but I don’t like the remotes either.
I’m back to the drawing board. I may go with 2 head units. I want to be able to watch a TV down stairs while listening to the stereo on deck. I’m not sure if any of the units can do 2 sources to different zones. the Fusion Party bus allowed that, hence the Apollo unit. But I don’t think that an option right now
