Default Odd Problem

Recently got the bike back from having the top end redone and have a strange audio problem that’s cropped up. I am running a Rockford kit on my ‘15 Roadglide with MMats midbass in the lowers and Arc Audio in the fairing.

The issue that I’m having is a ‘crackling’ type sound in the right channels (both fairing and lower) that only seems to happen when the engine is running. I haven’t had a chance to take the fairing off and poke around and was hoping someone might have a suggestion on where to look first when I do.

i pulled the fairing off this morning and switched the inputs, the crackling sound went away from what I can tell testing in the garage. Must have been a loose connection but they were fully connected when I took them apart.
