Amp overheating?
I just recently moved my amp to a different location in my trunk because
I rebuilt my box for more space. Ever since then I keep getting a whinning sound and sometimes distortion. This never happened before and I have not changed the wiring at all, just moved my amp. Is it possible that my amp overheating is what is causing this?

Amp overheating?
Sounds to me like you have relocated the amp and re-routed the RCA
cables into an EMI/RFI intense location in the trunk. Do you still get the whine with the RCA cables dis-connected, and system powered up? If the whine stops then you are most likely picking up the whine through your RCA cables. What happens when you move the amp to a different location? I had this problem once using low grade RCAs. Run the cables near the amps power cables and I get whine. re-route the cables farther away and the whine would somewhat diminish. Switched to monster cables and I have no problems running RCAs near power cables.
