Update: So, after rerouting the cables (power cable down one side and RCAs down the center console) I have successfully eliminated engine whine. In the 2015 Toyota GT86 (Scion FRS in the US), there are in fact supplemental factory power cables running down the sides of the car, which were...

Yea, I will definitely rethink the cable arrangement. Originally, I had the RCAs running along the sides of the car, and the power through the centre console. There was still a whine. I did notice there is another thick black cable that runs along the sides as well, these could be factory power...
