Default Blown Speaker?

I just started having this problem, out of the blue, with one speaker, and it is only intermittent. The speaker sounds fine when bike is off, at any volume, but if I'm riding it will sound fine and all of a sudden it will start to sound like a blown speaker. I have checked every connection, and I get no static when I jiggle the wires to the speaker and input connection. I am wondering if the daymaker headlight may be causing some sort of interference, with the speaker wire. Anyone ever heard of this?

If it were a blown speaker it wouldn't be intermittent and only sound bad riding down the road. Don't think interference form the daymaker would be intermittent either. What are you running for a radio, amp and speaker?

Do you have "invisible antenna" wires or any other wires under the hood that are within a few inches of the speaker?

The Focal r real damn sensitive to these random wires getting close to it.

Try swapping your speaker wires from side to side and see if it changes. I've heard of bad rca inputs on those amps.

You can try jiggling the input wires to the front LL also. You have several good suggestions. Check them out and report back.

I have jiggled those also. Thanks guys for your suggestions. I will go back and try to switch some wires to see if it moves to the other speaker.
