Check .that there is good airflow
around the amplifier. In some applicaitierns, an dermal cooling

This is caused primarily by poor
quality RCA cables picking up radiated noise. Route all RCA cables away from power wires, and use only the best quality cables.
Check that the speaker leads are not shorted to the vehicle chassis.
Check thawhe RCA grounds are not shorted to the vehicle chassis.
Check that the head unit is correctly grounded.
