it's called ground loop.

reground your amp/s to BARE METAL. if you have multiple amps, ground them to one spot. also ground your hu to the chassis/frame of the car as well as the amps (if it's bolted to a body panel or a seat bracket).

also disconnect your rcas and see if it's the amp or hu.

maybe run a ground from your hu to the battery.

i kno a guy, who's headunit had a ground loop in it, (pioneer hu), and it messed up his headunit.

i'm somewhat certain that it can harm your components.
