Make sure you have a solid ground and good rca cables.

Any others thoughts, I will check those. I was wanting someone to tell me if the big 3 could cause engine whine, so I could eliminate that.

Did you change your grounding point? That is typically the main reason you would get it after the upgrade.

If you mean the ground point for the battery negative terminal, no I didn't.

What about to the chassis?

What about to the chassis?

If you mean from engine block to chassis, I grounded that to the firewall.

Bottom line is that you have a bad ground somewhere. Check them all until you find it. We cant do it for you.

If you still cant find it, try spending money on a ground loop isolator. If that doesnt fix it, spend money on someone who can fix it.
