it is a kdc-bt838u and from the sub out my rca's are picking up distortion , it seems like it picks up the cd players movement and makes my sub pulse with the engine turned either on or off. any of your help is appreciated

I would start by checking grounds, the usual. You can ground the outer shied of therca by simply inserting a small piece of wire between the connectors and then grounding that wire.
