A bad ground is usually the cause for whining and feedback through the radio, you hear it in your amp because it gets it's audio signal from the poorly grounded radio.
The fans weren't on when it was 70% up for about a minute, and I popped the hood. Came on about 30 seconds later after it.

Amp/Whine sounds like what Bondo describes. It's a power cable that runs from the battery to the amp, and it runs along side the audio cables. So, it could be that.

But I'm gonna check over all the engine bay grounds on Sunday.
