Default what would cause this?

About a week ago, I got really bored over spring break, so I decided to install an amp/sub in the well of the hatch. Everything went fine, smooth, and everything worked fine. I used an old MTX 302 amp I had, running through a 12" Vega DVC, wired up to be running @ 2 ohms.

I had used it on and off for about 3 days and it worked fine. But now, anytime I turn on the amp, the sub starts going, even with the headunit off. The sub moves rapidly and creates a sound, as if its getting an audio signal, even with the headunit turned off. I've checked all wiring, everything is fine. I've played around with the amp settings (frequency, gain, EQ), and I just can't figure it out.

Any thoughts?

Did you run the RCA and power on DIFFERENT sides of the car?
