what happened to getting a power line filter from radio shack or something? 
You might need a filter on the power for the head unit as well as the amps. 
They're pretty cheap and might just solve your problem. Are you're ignition 
wires the stock resistive type? Are they in good shape? Does it happen on 
the tape or only radio? Just things to think about...
