Default engine whine is coming through speakers..........

I have just swapped the concert headunit for a kenwood D mask+, changed the front and rear speakers, added 2x 12" subs and 2 amps.

Now for some reason when the volume is turned down to an everyday level there is an engine whine type noise coming from the speakers but not the subs (i think). This happens everytime I put my foot on the accelerator and then changes to another noise when i press the clutch, then back to the same noise agin when i take my foot off the clutch. The noise isnt there when the engine is switched off.

What is the problem and how do I / is it possible to cure?!!

TIA

If it's not the ground it maybe the Amp itself. Cheaper amps do not have good noise filtration.

Make sure that your RCA's aren't ran close to your power wire.
