Rear amp whine



     I put in a rear amp and speakers to replace OEM last weekend.  The 
     problem is that I have an alternator whine present.  I have grounded 
     the amp more than sufficiently(12 guage to seat belt mount) but stil 
     have the whine.  I connected the amp ground to the receiver(Alpine) 
     ground and grounded that behind dash to 2 diff locations in addition 
     to the ground wire above.  This reduced the whine, but it is still 
     there.  Noise filters from Radio Shack do no good.  What is wrong?
