The Toronto Subaru site has an error everytime I try to join. And you guys are generally pretty friendly, except you, you're an asshole 99.99% of the time.

Turn it up, it'll sound S/Ced? :P
The bearings could be wearing out, the pulley could be binding, etc etc. Does it sound like it's scraping or is it just a whine?

Just a whine. Goes away when I turn the stereo off.
And seriously, when I first drove it home it sounded like yeah a supercharger or turbo or something and I kept thinking "I never saw that under the hood" but then I started playing with things and figured out what it was.

yeah that's a bad ground... try to keep your ground cable under 18" and make sure the grounding spot you choose is sanded down to remove paint and is actually a good ground heh. If all else fails you can buy a ground loop isolator.
***want to buy***
MBRP................ check SCT Xcal2 ........ check VF mounts Adj. Dampers ... check Meford's Mom.... sale pending

Well the amp came loose while I was "driving" (ie: doing donuts and powerslides in a snowy industrial area) so it could have happened before I took delivery of it but after I test drove it. Which probably meant he drove the s**t out of it for a day or two before I got it.
Anyway, I'll have to figure out how I want my trunk.
