check your grounds and dont run your rcas along anything else, power or ground wire or remote wire.

i had that as well. and i tore it all out and re ran everything and kept everything seperated from each other and that noise went away.

a friend told me it was the rcas, I had an rca cable in my house from a tv system a while back and i ran that away from the power wire still did the same thing.

i would start by making sure your wires are good first. check the grounding point. make sure its bare metal. no paint or coating.

if all looks good check your wiring make sure they are not running along side each other.

if they arent. you can go buy new rcas they arent to expensive.

Either bad ground. Bad amp. Or bad deck if you've changed rcas and it still does it

well the amp worked when the person sold it to me but im thinking that its maybe how i have the ground wired. My back seats fold down and in the back of them is covered in metal so thats where i put the ground.
