annoying ground loop problem--need help

I have an Alpine 9835, 5/14 MB Quart components in the front, JL Audio E4300 amp, JL audio 10 inch sub. When I first had it installed there was a high pitched hum coming from speakers when I accelerated. I took it back to where I had it installed and they took care of the problem. This was 3 months ago. The other day I had a Sirus connect tuner hooked up directly to my Alpine head unit. The high pitched hum is now back when I accelerate; most noticeable when in Sirius mode, but if I accelerate with the volume turned down in any mode (Tuner and CD) I hear the high pitched hum. I took it back and they said it was a bad AI-Net cable.

Now the problem is a lot better--maybe 90% but it is still there, and annoying the heck out of me. The shop that installed evertything , Al & Ed's, seems to rush everything since they are so busy--so now that I have to take it back a second time, I want to be equipped with more knowledge. What should I tell them to check? Is there anything I can do to eradicate this problem. It is most noticeable when I listen to Sirius talk stations--with music on, you can't hear it--it gets drowned out. So what to do? I've spent $1400 and have a pit it my stomach because when you spend that kind of money you want ot to be perfect, and it's not. Any ideas?

Single ground. If there is one thing car audio proves it's that the saying "Ground is ground the world round" is complete BS.

I'm guessing that's what it is. There's not a lot of room back there.
