Noise problem

well, I just got a 4 channel infinity amp, and I'm getting crazy static from my speakers, mostly from the tweeters. I have polk Db components up front and some pioneer 6x9 in the back. I ran the power wire on the passenger side, my speaker wires on the middle, and my rca's on the driver's side, and still getting the static. It gets considerably louder when I turn up the gain on the 4 channel, but I can also hear it when the volume is down. It bugs the hell out of me and I have no clue what to do to get rid of it. Any kind of help is appreciated. BTW, the amp is Infinity Ref 7540A, HU is alpine 9833.

I just spent the last hour searching the ICE forum, and the only answers I found were for engine noise, nothing for static.

I don't know infinity amps, but the grounding of your amp is critical. Where did you ground it?

just went to tweeter today, and they had no clue wtf I was talking about. Anyways, I'm leaning towards thinking I can't really fix it, and the only option is to turn down the gain.
