are the rca's ran with the power wires, that could be the cause of the buzzing

Did you hook up the turn-on lead?
The buzzing is most likely caused by a bad ground or running the patch cables too close to the power wire. Also, turn your gain down.

Joe, I can take a look at it tomorrow, if you'd like. I get home from work at about 5:30. PM me your address and I'll stop by about about 6 or so.

Yes, but did you hook up a remote turn-on lead? You've made no mention of it when discussing your cables. The amp needs the following:
1 - unswitched power source from battery (your 8 GA cable)
2 - ground (GA should match power cable
3 - remote turn-on lead (switched power source from head unit, tells the amp when to turn on)
4 - signal (your patch cables)
5 - connection to speakers that are being amplified
