Have you tried setting the EQ volume to 3/4 of the way up, and using the radio volume control to control the volume of the system?

Thats what i was banking on too once the EQ came into play and why i kept referring to the how to set gains topic. Glad you got it worked out.

I would try taking the eq out of the mix. Simply run the RCAs from the deck to the amp. The eq may have a bad ground connection to the shield of the rca jacks.

I was under the impression that the whining noise went away when you turned the gains down on the amp.

Your more than likely your gonna have to reroute your RCA cables AWAY from any large guaged power wire (aftermarket and even OEM wiring) Your system is picking up powerline noise...AKA conductive coupling. After all the other system checking you've all ready did so far, shouldn't be too much more work.

I don't think we were the ones suggesting that a large wire carrying DC voltage can induce noise into a shielded cable.
