Does it get worse as the engine RPMs increase?

sounds like a ground loop, caused by poor grounding of the headunit and/or amp.
take a look at this link

not sure if its mentioned in the link posted by oth, but you can wrap bare wire around your RCA outputs on the back of the headunit and ground it to the chassis of the HU. should take car of your noise. the bare wire should touch the metal part that you plug the RCA cables into. i currently have this done on mine cause im too lazy to send it back to get the fuse replaced.
