If your HU is skipping, return it! No Alpine deck I've ever owned has ever skipped, no matter where I was driving. And the roads here are all terrible. If that deck is skipping it is because of a defect (unless you drive through jungle paths or 10 miles of constant railroad tracks). I'm serious, your deck should not skip, especially if the stocker didn't on the same commute.
