Is this because my speaker wire is next to my power wire? only on driver side and WAY louder when motor is running?

Speaker lines are very low impedance and not usually susceptable to picking up noise. Sometimes tweeter wiring will pick up whine but it's really rare. I would look at RCA cables first... try swapping them for starters.

This. RCA's are most affected because their signal is amplified, so even small amounts of noise can become obvious. Also check your grounds
