Make sure the ground for your amp is good, that is the most common problem. Next make sure that your rca's are of good quality and are at least 18" from the power cable through the car. Lastly, make sure that the battery connections are clean and not corroded. Also make sure the ground from the battery to the chassis is good as well as the grounds from the motor to the chassis.

I wanted to know what size wires and where are they grounded to? Did you remove all of the paint before you grounded (down to bare metal) How did you ground the headunit, etc....
