That could be the source of your problems right there. Your amplifiers far exceed the quality of the radio.
Are your RCA cables right next to the power wire?
What are your gains set at on the channel amp?
Is the noise only when the truck is running?
How short and how solid are the grounds?

what about the head unit ground it's self? i had a old reliant k car when the radio ground came unhooked you would hear alt wine.this and if you are using those aluminum connectors from lowes or home depot for the ground connection those are meant to be use with a no oxidizing compound for aluminum called noaloux made by ideal sold at home depot and lowes i am beting it's a ground issue and those that use the aluminum terminal shall remain nameless lol. also did you remove the paint from the spot were it's grounded to the body of the frame if so look for rust to. on the screw or frame.

How can you not know what your gains are set at?
