I had this type of problem when the signal wires were ran with the amp's power wire. At a certain RPM the engine would wine quite loud.

Are the RCA's routed on the same side as the power?

no my power wire is on the left side with remote and left speaker wires and my rca wires are on the right side of my car with the right speaker wires.

I also noticed when i unplug a pair of rca input (front or rear), i dont hear the noise anymore.

yes I have I pioneer touchscreem p3100. My amp ground is good but IDK about the head unit ground. You think this could be an issue? I only hear the buzz when my engine is running.

You have blown a fuse in the headunit that protects the preamp circuit. It is on the ground trace. It is not user fixable. Take the unit back and have it fixed or try the standard quick fix. Take the unit out of the dash. Attach a ground wire to the cd player chassis, take the other end of it and bare it. Wrap the bare end around the shield of the rca cable where it attaches to the cd player. This may solve the problem for you.

You have 2 pairs of rca cables running from the head unit to the amp. Behind the deck is where they plug in. That is where you need to try the ground wire I talked about.
