Ahh the infamous wo wo sound..... Could be a few things, check to see if your RCA's aren't ran next to the power wire. Some say thats a myth, but it's happened to me, so from then on I never run it my the power wire since.
Hows your ground wire? The ground should be as short as possible, with a proper sand down. So that the conection is to bear metal.

wouldn't be caused by signal and power being parallel.
check your head unit and amplifier ground points.
make sure the amplifier gains aren't turned up too high.
make sure the RCA interconnects from head unit to amplifier didn't get pinched, and thus damaged.

wanted to get the point across did you? the most common culprit for this is the gains being too high.....check that first as its the easiest fix and the most common cause of it

Like already metioned (by Glass 4 times)... Check and make sure your gain is set properly first... also may want to check and make sure that you don't have the amp set on Full or High pass filter... I've seen it come of that too.
