    Are your RCAs running down the same side as your power cable? This sounds like alternator/engine whine to me.

    How about you tell us what components your stereo is made up of... If you have a Pioneer head unit, I know what it is. If you don't, you need to check your amp ground, make sure RCAs are not near power cables, try other RCAs.

    OK well first check you amp ground, make sure its sanded right back to bare metal and then re-tighten that sucker. Make sure that even at the amp that the RCAs and power cable are as far away from each other as possible. If it is still there then try a different set of RCA cables and see if it is still there.
