Check you haven't got cables coiled up - when you coil a cable it works, essentially, as an aerial.
Neaten up your install if at all possible, people rarely consider how neatness can actually affect SQ

was having a play around today and i moved the rca leads from the rear outlet to the front outlet and now the speakers work as normal with no radio noise.....the front outlet is right next to the aerial output and the rear is futher away

replace my head unit and problem is sorted, nothing to do with my wiring or the quality of the cables  :smiley:
