Intermittent whine from speakers

Anyone have any ideas on what might be causing the intermittent whine I'm getting from my system? I've ruled out alternator whine as rpms have no effect on the whine. It comes and goes but it does so in an almost cyclical manner. Maybe toroidal transformer or hu?  Amp is rf t1000-4ad running 4 sets of coax speakers. Ground is solid reading 0 ohms. Thanks gentlemen.

They are kicker K series rca's. They are ran on the passenger side and my power is ran on the driver's side.

Yeah, I'm afraid that it's the amp. It's not a ground loop problem but thanks for the link!

Do u have an extra amp or headunit? I keep an older headunit and a few old amps around ik work to troubleshoot issues like this. Doesnt need to b anything fancy or expensive. flea market amps will work. Id say its probly one of those 2 unless ur rca became compromised somehow such as a pinch or factory defect or age.

that could be your problem, a $60 radio

Worked fine with the other amps before upgrading but I've had it since it first came out so it could be going to shit but I bet it is the amp.
