Haha that's a sin. Just kidding. I just took a kenwood out and replaced it with a stock. Anyway, What vehicle? Did you use the electrical harness or hard-wire it?

Default Radio
You should check all your grounds at radio and engine. Make sure you ground it to the body. Make sure you have good ground between battery and body.
