Did you check for power at the amp? Maybe you blew a fuse?

I've had mine in the bike for about a year an I think it's going bad. Sound will cut out for a few seconds then come back. Both speakers go at the same time an the radio display never changes. I pulled the outter an checked all the connections an they were good. I rode on some really hot days this year an earlier this year the ground worked loose....I'm thinking it's going into protect mode an it might be damaged from the heat or loose ground. I'm thinking about the NVX for around 170. I'm thinking I'll add a cooling fan when I replace the CV amp.

Yes, have been since install. No problems. With the bike off, switched to accessories, head unit on, amp will not turn on and no sound to speakers. Remove amp from equation, sound plays fine.

You are going to need a new amp. Do not use AVC! I (my wife) killed a B52 the same way.

Wether I turn the volume up and down according to my speed or the bike does it for me, can't see what difference it would make. My vehicle came with a premium sound system and a 240 watt amp, the volume varies according to speed from the factory.
