Alternator Whine
So today i installed my speakers, and amp. I ran the power wire along the drivers side of the car and the remote and RCAs along the passenger side of the car. I had a solid ground point to the frame in the trunk. I can tell this is alternator whine, because when i rev the engine, it gets louder and goes with the engine. I have PG RsD component set and a temporary kicker zr240 (until my PG amp shows up). So why the hell is it doing this?!?
Any help would be appreciated!

I used Phoenix Gold QX series rcas...and i grounded straight to the frame. I removed all the paint around the area. It's really weird, this is the first time I've ever experienced this

Try a different grounding spot. Just picking a different location to ground the amp could do away with the problem....also make the ground wire from the amp as short that you can.

It is only about 2 and a half feet. I will try a new spot though.

the remote turn on is a power wire too, just an fyi. It carries a 12 volt signal, though I doubt it's causing your problem.
changing the ground again is good advice, you never know what route these signals take to the battery.
the quality/age of the amp can cause issues. there will always be noise in the system, the quality of the components determine how much noise there can be before it interferes with the signal. maybe your new amp will solve the problem.
the ground should be the same for the whole system also. hu, eq, amps, everything in the same spot. that's the "perfect" setup.

+1 on the ground being at the same point for your whole system. I used one of the mounting bolts to the rear seat belts for my ground (after sanding off the paint) since it's the midpoint between the amp in my trunk and the one under the passenger seat.

try sanding down the location where you are putting your ground this might help...
