Luke,

how did you wire the head unit to the amp ? Did you use the speaker outputs or line level outputs (red and white RCA) ?

If you used speaker outputs, you need to make sure your amp can cope with the high level inputs, otherwise it will be in massive overload unless the volume is REALLY low.

Hope this helps.
