Hmm... IF those don't pan out, then maybe try this- pull the stereo out of the dash, and get another RCA and run it straight to the amp right over the seats, just for test purposes. See if you get interference in that scenario. If you do, then you've ruled out bad cables, and you've ruled out something weird with your currently chosen route. It doesn't get you a solution, but it might tell us more.

Then again, somebody will probably have much better advice than me.
The RCA is twisted pair.
After I did the install and tested the system and heard the noise I did start testing.

Used the shortest ground and heavy guage wire with quality loop ends.

Ran the RCA wire over the seats away from all others, in fact installed all wires on a different path just for this reason.

Thanks for the ideas. I am at a loss.
