If this occurs only at idle, it's probably low system voltage.

It's your engine oil dancing to the beat !

Your sucking voltage away from the car's electrical system. Try a cap.

Check out where your amp is powered from & move it to one of the fusible link feeds (red wires) to the fuse panel, or the ignition switch to reduce the voltage drop in the system. Or, you may want to run a separate feed from the alternator output or battery.
