RandallNeighbor--

You win!!!!! I installed a noise filter and now the noise is DRAMATICALLY reduced. This is how it should sound! The funny thing is that I talked to Crutchfield, an installer in my neighborhood, and asked online and EVERYBODY said I was basically screwed. I would either have to live with it or put the Becker back in. Even Crutchfield told me to return my car to stock after running through many tests with me. They said a noise filter would not work. Oh well...20 bucks for the filter and I decided to give it a try...and as you stated my man...IT WORKED!!! Thank you!
