do you mean THUMP?

Does it do it if the stereo is OFF? like physically turn off the head unit, and see if it still does it. Try a different preout. Unplug the rca on the amp and see if it still does it.

If it does do it with the stereo off, either try moving the preout like Jesse said, or try a different wire for your remote. I actually witnessed an install with a Visonik amp, high low converted, where with the radio on it worked fine but if you turned the radio off there would be a constant THUMP, like 40hz or so
