sounds like one of the audio cables is picking up electronic interference. Im assuming your RCA cables and remote cable are running down the centre of the car?

is it just the one amp thats doing it? If its the 6x9s, then rip it out problem solved 
however, does it happen even if the other amps are powered up? Also, make sure you earth is decent - behind the rear light housings there are bolts on the bodywork, use those or the seat belt bolts etc And make sure you sand around that area to remove any paint etc etc
Also try the amp(s) in another car, to make sure it isnt the amp at fault.
If those above doesnt solve it and the amp is fine, then look at getting a filter for your alternator - that may solve it.
edit - also mate, i would run your RCAs/speaker cable down the drivers side, power AND remote cable down the passengers.
