Also make sure the rca inputs from the LL to the amp aren't plugged in too far. Meaning there has been times where I've come across this issue and the rca outside (large round female part outside of the interior male plug, was actually touching the chassis of the amp. Whenever you hit a bump, static.

Update, Issue resolved. Thanks, again for the input, but the problem was the 4 pin plug for the speaker output on the amp, even though plugged in securely, was loose enough, to cause the static in the speaker from the vibration when the bike was running. I wedged a round tooth pick on the side of the 4 pin plug to keep it from moving.

If you can't get a replacement plug/amp you can always run a dab of silicone around the perimeter of the plug to the amp. Let it sit overnight and that will keep it in place until you remove it.

Thanks, I will try this, if the toothpick wedge thingy, doesn't hold up. I called CV for replacement and I am not sure if I want to take out my amp and have to ride without my sounds until they fix or send replacement. I live in Florida, so it is possible I could ride almost everyday. I only spent about $130 for the amp.

I think I'm having the same issue with my left front speaker. While riding I hear a static/crackling noise and I thought it was a loose connection or blown tweeter. Had all the connections checked and was told they were fine so I thought maybe a tweeter went bad. It comes and goes intermittently but seems to get progressively worse the longer i ride
