Sub distortion ONLY when engine is on?...

I just installed a Rockford P3 in my car last week. In the last couple of days I've been noticing a huge distortion coming from my subs when my engine is running.

If I just put in my key and listen to music without turning on the engine, the sub-woofer works perfectly. As soon as I turn on the engine, all I can hear is distortion and weird bass from my sub-woofers Distortion keeps going until I turn off engine

I'm using 4 gauge wires. The wires don't fit under the door panel so I wired the power cable from my hood firewall to behind my head-unit and from there under the center armrest straight to the trunk. And I ran the smaller RCA and power cables along the door panels because they were small enough to fit.

The subs have been installed for about 6 days, but the distortion noises just started 3 days ago.

Does anyone know with what I have wrong here? thanks:confused:

Sorry, I didn't know what I had was called engine whine. I tried searching distortion and got nothing. Now I know.

I'm going to try those suggestions in the thread. Thanks
