Sound system gurus, I need your help!!!
So I just purchased a new car since my Prelude was totaled during Christmas break. The previous owner of the vehicle said he purchased the car from his brother-in-law, who had put a system in the car (all new speakers inside, 2 jl audio amps+a jl audio subwoofer+an equalizer in the trunk). I am completely clueless when it comes to sound system/wiring stuff. When we test drove the car, the sound system was making a huge weezing sound, the guy said he would take care of it before handing the car over. I got the car now, the sound is definitely not as bad as it was the day we test drove, but it is still there. It actually starts when the car starts, coming out of the speakers, after turning the radio on it is barely noticeable if i turn up the volume. Do you guys have any idea what the problem could be? Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Znypar, I am pretty sure it happens after I start the engine, I will take notice next time I drive.
Olegus, thank you for the tip.
Any other ideas?

B18C_EJ8, yes, it is high pitched, just kind of sounds like the sound you get when you turn on a radio station that has a bad signal. Yes, it does increase in amplitude as you accelerate, at the same time, the sound does become less noticeable when I accelerate or turn up the volume.

ditto. what kind of RCA interconnects are you running?
i ask this because its key to have well-shielded RCAs to keep out unwanted noise and radiation.
