i had the same problem when i put in my amp. when i stepped on the gas you could hear like a wistling noise from my speakers. i guess i wired the RCA cables too close to the power cable. when i moved them it was gone

I always run my power wire on one side of the car and the RCA's on the other side of the car.You can also buy a filter that goes inline by the amp. to remove the noise.

Yep, sounds like the RCA and power wires are too close together. I have always done like mustang8719 and ran then on different sides of the car.
