[QUOTE="Spr0ket, post: 1184463, member: 560341"] You guys have bad grounds somewhere. Start by removing the antenna from the head unit and put a CD on pause. If that doesn't work, remove one of the RCA leads at the head unit (left or right on the front, reconnect and repeat for the back as well as the subs). Do the same with the RCAs at the amps. Try swapping left and right channels at the amps to see if the whine moves. Check the speaker leads and the amp ground as well as the head unit ground. Ultimately the problem is in a ground somewhere. Make sure your grounds are SOLID and on bare metal. If you have to, change the ground to another place to test it. Also, avoid getting a ground loop isolator or a whine choke... they don't work the way you may be thinking. [/QUOTE]
