It goes away when I pull the RCA cables from my rockford amp.

I have currectly grounded the amp, and deck, as they have been checked by many and all agree that they are indeed correctly grounded. I think I might have blown the head

The best thing that you can do to prevent unwanted noise in a car audio system is to ensure that you have properly grounded the system. The ground wire should be of sufficient size (the same gauge as your power wire) and desireably not more than 3 or 4 feet in length. The ground wire should be connected to a solid piece of bare metal. (A seat belt fastener bolt is not sufficient). In fact, you should never use a bolt that is already in place. The best way to get a good ground is to take a wire wheel and use a drill to file a rigid piece of frame metal to shiny bare metal. Then use a star washer to grind the wire into that bare metal when you screw it down. You should eliminate almost all system noise when grounding it correctly. Good luck.

You need to ground the radio or and the amp properly (to metal, the black wire), and check that you have the noise suppressor installed correctly. Check the user / install manual.

You need a noise filter.
It's wired in series between your radio's power wires and battery.
Radio Shaft used to carry them, but I don't think they do anymore, but you could try.
Also try Circuit City or the like...
The engine noise you hear is either the alternator or ignition system (spark plugs, rotar cap, etc.) if you can hear the pitch get higher if you accelarate.

Sparky.....you forgot to tell them about proper speaker enclosures.....but it is one of a couple of things that everyone has told you. Check the ground....could be floating.....shielded cables should be used....in line noise reductors (last option) I would always reccomend fixing the problem, not treating the symptom.

You're picking RF from the engine. You need shielded cables.

Its a wiring problem.
Check the installer.

yeah, it should be shielded better, have the installer use MONSTER brand cables and you shouldn't hear that noise anymore....
