Try the amp on another car, if it goes away then there is somthing interfering with the amp. If not then throw the amp away . Id check the ground wire 1st and see if it is fit proper to the amp and to the body of the car.

Thanks, It was the ground... I figured it was a cheap amp.. I only paid 20 bucks for it and it does what i need it to do for now. My ground was alittle crusty... Cleaned her up and solved the problem. Thanks.
