Altenator/engine whine

Did you try regrounding your headunit or amps? Not just "look at it", but actually reground it? Same with the amps.

Typically the HU ground needs relocated. Running it back to the negative on the battery is a good option.

I have moved the grounds, but i should put my cd player ground to the battery ground ?

Or the same place you have grounded the amps.

Also, the other dudes right. Could be RCA cables. Not necessarily the cables themselves, could be to close to a power source. Power cable for the amp for example.

Note* this isn't always an easy fix
