first step, check your connections and where the wires are routed. make sure you have a good ground connection

If possible, identify the source of the noise and filter that component's output. If I couldn't identify the source, I would first try a noise filter on the power leads to the radio. If that didn't work, I'd try an alternator filter next. A marine supply may be your best source, if you're near the water. Look here for ideas:

Also try wiring it directly to the battery.

Experience is something you don't get, until just after you need it.
