I just bough the car and it was hooked up to have an amp push the interior speakers, so i hooked up the amp and now everything works just a sqeul comming from them. I read that it could be the power wires are to close to the speaker wires, i have no idea i plan on rerunning all the previous set up to where i like just that this squel is annoying for now

it could be a bad ground.

i would check the ground, mine did the same thing and as i accelerated it got louder, but i moved the rcas away from the power wires and it was fixed.

Did you do anything with the head unit. its very easy to get wires touching back there that can cause noise in the system. Usually noise is caused by bad ground or RCAs coming to close to power wire.
