how did you ground the equipment? I had this happen when I grounded the amp directly to the battery. Moving it to the chassis sorted it out. It may be picking up feedback from the engine if it is grounded into the car's circuitry. Maybe moving the grounds to the metal chassis may help. just a thought. somebody with electrical experience may be able to give you a more definate answer than I can, so wait for more replies before trying anything.
