I have not done anything involving audio in a few months when I installed 2 new kicker rear speakers. I have no amp or anything. And about two weeks ago, I started to hear this whining noise (engine noise) coming out of the left rear speaker (Gets louder as the RPM goes higher). When I am in park, I can still hear a little whining noise from the speaker. The other day, I diconnected the whining speaker, started up the car, and now the noise started coming from the other rear speaker. How in the world can I fix it? Please Help.

If you install new speakers make sure that the cables you use to connect the new speakers has the insulation around the wires and there's no cut wires touching any metal surface on your car. Also if you have an aftermarket radio make sure all the wires you strip to connect two wires with each other have electrical tape around it.
Use a speaker wire that has good amount the insulation around it, something like 10 - 14 gauge. If everything is fine and you still get the noise, you can purchase a filter. You can buy one at any car stereo shop.

I have the premium stocked Monsoon, thanks for the help. Any other advise?

Again, maybe rewire using quality speaker wiring. This stock junk just doesn't cut it, period.
For some reason, I'm wanting to ask how hard you push your speakers? Maybe some sort of distortion is happening?

I actually don't have it real loud at all. Bass is at 0 most of time (some times I push it up to +2). About a month ago I pulled the radio out when I was pulling off the dash. I don't remember if the engine noises were running through the rear speaker before or not. What should I check behind the radio?

Make sure everything is plugged in, snugged down nice n tight. Also, check for any wire fraying and whatnot.

make sure the amp is grounded right. sounds like a ground loop to me.

If anyone asks, tell them its supercharged.

I looked myself, didn't find anything at all. Anyone know how much it would cost to get this fixed? It's driving me absolutely crazy. I'm assuming it is somewhere behind the radio. As if I unplug the one rear speaker (which engine noises come out of), automatically the other rear speaker starts picking up the noises.

Well, last week I popped the hood, pushed and made sure all the wire connections were on nice and tight, and the engine noises that were running through the rear speakers went away. Last night, the noises came back. Anyone have any idea what I should check specifically under the hood?
