Help With B52 tealth Bomber amp

I just finished and installing B52 stealth Bomber amp with 2 fairing 6.5 speakers Infinity Kappas with adapter rings. Good enough set up for me. Can hear them at 85 mph no problem at all. used industrial strength Velcro to mount right on top of Stock HU. I have a couple of problems maybe some of you guys can help me out.
1) I am hearing some clicking in speakers..... ( i think I figured out what I did wrong there... I tie wrapped speaker wires and input wires along with Power and ground cables.) gona try keeping those away from each other and see if it fixes that.

2) The other problem I am having is.... I ran remote wire to positive wire on Cigarette lighter/ accessories with one of those little double crimp thingies... and I put the Amp in the "Remote" position rather than "Vox" or "DC" When playing music plugged through Smart phone to HU unit Via Aux Cord. I turn on ignition and Run switch on bike Music fires up starts playing... then when I turn Bike over Music stops and cant get it to start back up gain until I turn bike Off and just go back to ignition and run switch on... I have turned bike off and on a couple times and I have gotten it to play music while I am riding... Wondering if during starting bike that little glitch is turning AMP off? and why would it be intermittent?? any Ideas?

I have my B52 wired to the cig. lighter just like you do, and I have never experienced that. Maybe something going on with the amp itself?

Is it a problem with the amp or the hu looking for music source?
start the bike with the radio on then switch to aux.

I will try that... but i think it is something more than that. I usually have radio on and phone all plugged in and music I want to listen to all dialed in and then I start bike. but I will try your suggestion.

Can you duplicate that with radio? My iPhone will do intermittent dumbness like that

I figured out my problem. As I suspected when I turn the bike over it was triggering the Remote wire and turning the amp off. I simply changed the switch to “DC” on the up and left everything wired up exactly the same and now it works perfectly.

I found it the clicking and popping noise in the speaker was not caused by how I ran the cables but rather it was my Samsung phone when using the “aux audio out cable” into the stock HU through the little audio jack. Going to try a more quality cable and see if it that fixes that problem. When I play the CD it was crystal clear. Thank you all for your comments
