Are you using the ring terminal that came in your amp kit?
use those and the self tapping screws that came with it and ground to a new spot, not where another bolt is.
See if that helps
With a subwoofer Ive never noticed any induced noise in the signal from running the power or ground close with the RCAs
does this 'whine' increase when you are driving or using anything else in your electrical system (headlights, wipers etc)
try turning your gain way down on your amp and see what happens

this is a possibility but just saying to go get a new set isn't really good advice....what if he goes out and spends 50 bucks on a nice patch cable and the noise is still there???
Gotta diagnose the problem before buying stuff

Those look like the unshielded cheap radio shack rca's. My suggestion would be to run the rcas on the outside of the vehicle away from power wires to see if your still getting noise. Also test for alternator whine. To do this turn the volume all the way down on your hu and then rev the engine if you hear the whine unplug the rcas repeat the process without the rcas plugged in if the sounds goes away you most likely have a ground loop. also how are you running your rcas and power? On different sides i hope.
