Sub making weird noise!

installing a HU and 2 amps. everything works fine except when the rear sub is hooked up. The sub pushes up and down but makes a weird sound...the power is coming from a gold block that spit into 2 for the amps...thats my guess..what can it be??? help!

Is it motor noise? Does it make the noise only when the car is turned on?

Eject that Rick Astley CD from your stereo.

In all seriousness, do you expect us to guess the type of noise you hear?
