Default Frpnt speakers
2014 Ultra Limited and front speakers stopped working, rear speakers work fine. Is it possible the front ones are blown even though the volume was at a moderate level when they shut off? I get a little noise out of the tweeter on the left one but nothing out of the right one

Dumb question but did you check the fade? Also speakers don't generally blow in pairs. Harley uses molex/plastic with pins (connectors.) It is possible also that a plug or connection came loose. Good luck

I’ve checked the fade and that’s not it. I’m removing the getting tomorrow to check the connectors. I was a little confused about both blowing as well which is what the dealer suggested might be the issue. I’ll check the connectors tomorrow, thanks for the response

I was playing with the stock speakers after putting in a amp and blew both rear ones in a matter of seconds. But I can tell you that if they are blown you can smell them.

No smell at all. Just checked all connections and everything appears tight. I’m still only getting music from the tweeter in the left front and no sound from the right front.

Did you pull the speakers out of the pod? If so you could take one out of the back and swap it out. I have 2 good stock speakers I will give you if you pay for the shipping, I also have a set of Arc Moto 602's but you would need a amp to drive I will sell for $200.

I truly appreciate the offer, I already have another set. I’m going to try the plugging in a back speaker later today to see what happens.
