whats the problem!??!

ok.. i have a JVC deck... and just recently when i turn it up kinda loud... lets say the radio is on... it sounds like im in an area w/ bad reception.. like cuts in and out... you know when you hit those areas where the station kinda fades in and out really choppy like?!

when there is a cd in... it like skips.. its not the cd, and its not that i hit a bump.. like it will go from music.. to no music.. to music again.. <--- does that make sense?!?

is the whole thing just jacked?!?!?!?! if so ima be pissed off b/c this will be the 2nd deck in 2 years i have had to replace...
first one was a kenwood paid $700 for

now this JVC, paid $400 for

if it is the deck.... then what kind should i get?? something that will last LONGER then a freak'n year!

thanks.. if anyone can help me out!
