Its a problem with your setup matey. Its a hard one to judge, take a picture of all the crossover settings ect on your amp and post em up

Have you made sure the subwoofer switch for channels 1+2 is switched off?

The reason why you have whistling is because of interference. Are the power leads and RCA leads running down the same side of the car? Also, put the earth for your amplifier somewhere else

well when i switch the sub off on channels 3 + 4 i dont get as much vocal as i used to, power and rca are running down different sides of the car and earth is in a good position near my spare tyre.

dunno what else it could be!

Tis probably interference, do you get the whistling with your engine off too?

The subs only eat low frequencies, sound quality isnt an issue to the subwoofer, but your mids and highs are much more sensitive. Id say try a different amp first mate, cos if you've done everything else tidy, its the only solution!

There is no harm in trying, they will use seperate crossovers so there is a chance it may work, give it a shot
