FYI for anyone trying to find that noise. There is a little fan under the steering column. You can cover the opening with your finger and the noise should stop. You can see it with a flashlight, or poke it with a toothpick.

Update on the sound system. See below for subwoofer results. I did more testing on the system and figured out what I don't like about the setup from the front. The crossover point between the front door and dash is at about 350hz. I would prefer it be set at around 3500hz. So currently most of...
