Ahh, I didn't realize it was a Line out converter, I thought it was an equalizer... lrn2google... That being understood, it almost has to be RFI.

I took a look at the Install sheet for the Re-q... Could you tell us where it is physically installed? If you're extending the speaker wires to the back of the car, you just created some 8ft antennas. Those wires are picking up any interference, then sending that 'dirty' source to your amplifiers... Any noise on those lines is now 'amplified', (couldn't think of a better word for it) and a whole lot worse than it once was. The fact that turning your gains up on the Re-q makes the noise worse, almost confirms that the noise is on the lines 'before' the Re-q...
