Lace Alumitone Deathbucker DB7 Microphonic?

I recently picked up one of these pickups. It seems to be microphonic at any volume above the clean tones. Is there something I'm missing here?

I have pickups in nearly all of my guitars, all of which I installed myself, so it's not something that is unfamiliar to me.

I soldered the green & black/white wire to ground, & orange to hot per the instructions. White wire doesn't go to anything.

Anyone have any experience with these pickups?
 
I'm starting to think this pickup is just so insanely high output that you have to keep all volumes down. Volume on the guitar at 5 or less, gain on my amps turned down to 3 or less, and it still sounds like a monster
 
Nope, that was incorrect. They ship the pickup with some shrink tubing that you need to use instead of springs. That plus some foam that sits under the feet of the pickup both to help stop the microphonics. I put both of these in place, seems to be working well thus far.
