How did you run all of your wires? Are your RCA’s and speaker wires on the opposite side of the car from the power cable? Let me know so I can further assist you

well it came a from a upgrade from a care so it has a clip that you plug into the amp. The speaker wires and the rcas are not on the opposite sides of the power cable

Alright so your power wire that runs from the battery to the amp and your RCA cable’s run parallel thru the car am I correct? and what do you mean it has a clip you plug into the amp?

I think your power cable is giving your rca's and speaker wire power that it shoudl not be getting . i'm a beginer, but i was told this was bad when i was installing mine. run them on opposite sides if u can and try it then.

dmann216 is correct. When you run power wires next to Rca and speaker cables they will pick up a high pitch frequency. Move your rca cables to the opposite side of the as well as your speaker wires and the noise will go away. If you do that you shouldn’t need all those line filters either.
