crackling noise with new amp

I put an alpine f250 amp into my truck today and turned the gain all the way down before I tuned it and then and when i turned the gain up the speakers would crackle with louder music. What do I have to do to get this to stop?

Its 2 feet away or so, could that be it? I'll need to go pick up a longer wire then.
