First off change your spark plug wires, I know it sounds stupid but trust me it will cause interferance if they are worn. If this doesn't fix it completely, they make electrical interference interceptors. They go in the power supplies, like a fuse.

i hooked up a stereo one time...
and I had tha same problem!
I grounded the stereo to the wrong wire, and when I revved up the engine or turned on the lights, the stereo would make a really weird noise.
basically, change your ground. Try a bolt thats screwed into the body. That works fine...

After you've exhausted the whole grounding issue people seem to think you have, get an automotive noise filter. It wires in between the radio and battery.
They can found at Circuit City and the like.
Oh, and it doesn't matter if the audio cables are running next to power wires as some guy posted.
In order to get noise from "induction" across wires, there has to be AC (alternating current) present. Since a car is all DC, this will never occur.

you see everyone talking about grounds then you get the one or two jackasses talking about noise filters. there is a reason for this. its because most everyone is right and those two people are wrong. noise fiters are the ***** way of taking care of the problem and in most cases the problem comes back after a few months. work on your grounds(nice and clean grounds) and running your power wires and signal wires seperatly, just like all the smart people have told you. good luck and keep bangin

There might want to be quite a few issues that reason this. a nasty floor on the amp. make positive the floor cord is tight and the area is free of any paint. yet another vast problem is that if the skill cord and the RCA cord are run at the same time. that is strongly recommended to run the skill cord down one side of the motorized vehicle and the RCAs on the different side keepins them as far apart from each and each oher noticeably if the amp is operating mids and highs. some affordable amps have unfavourable inner grounding and would basically generate noise yet attempt both innovations previously procuring yet another amp. you may also examine to make sue a speaker cord isnt grounding to metallic which each from time to time causes a whine and would damage your amp

Your ground wire to some (or all) of your aftermarket equipment needs to be better. Be sure it is a good ground to metal that is grounded to the chassis. The grounding spot should not have paint, oil, rust, etc.

Run your hot wire on one side of the car and Rca cable on the other if that don't work try a better ground

Make sure everything is grounded properly. Also, in my experience, I've found a new power lead straight to your headunit/amp really help clear things up, too.
