Default Sound cuts out When I use throttle

2015 Ultra limited. Sound cuts out as soon as I touch the throttle. Throttle works fine to ride. Doesn't cut out with just the ignition switch on.
Upgraded sound system.
Put on new bars a couple weeks ago.
Also put on Ciro fangs over the weekend.
All was good until yesterday.
HELP?!!?

That's an easy fix...... don't use the throttle. Seriously though, If I had to venture a guess, I'd say a loose connection at the amp. It could be any of the connections for main power, ground, remote turn on or speaker input to the amp. I'd pull the fairing, and start the bike and check for power loss with throttle use first.

Aight gimme the specifics of your upgraded audio. Did this start as soon as the bars were installed and did the dealer install the bars?

Go into your NAV and see if the prompts are on. That could be what's causing your issues.
