Default PN4.520D Issue

OK, had the PN520 installed for a while. In the middle of last year while on a 4 hour ride, noticed that the right channel's volume got alot lower than the left. Was probably 2 hours into the ride. I switched to headset and rode like that for a while and when I switched back it was fine for a while again. I thought that maybe that channel was overheating, although usually it is the entire amp that overheats, not just one side.

I installed a Metra Saddletramp last week and decided to check all the wiring...everything on the front and rear looks good, no apparent reason for that side (yes the entire right side, front and rear) to cause an issue with wiring.

I tried to get in touch with Soundstream for some help, but haven't been able to get in touch with anyone just yet.


Any ideas would be nice.

Stock HU I suppose. Are you using high level or low level inputs on the amp?

Sorry forgot to add that. I am using the outputs from the HK unit. As some point I may send it off to Iron Cross to do the RCA outputs, but have other issues to address in life right now.

My guess is it's going to be the HU. Highly unlikely that the amp would fail on the same side front and rear. It would either be both fronts or both rears. Double check all of your wiring on the input side.

I have to take the fairing off again to re-wire the Saddletramp to try and get it to work with the CB, so I will double check the wiring again. I may pull them out of the plugs and check for any corrosion also....I did not do that last time, and down here that is a possibility.
