Default Stereo cuts out

Hoping someone may be able to help out. 2013 RGU. Aquatics head unit, biketronics 4180 amp, biketronics 7.1 pro speakers in fairing and hertz 6.5 in rear pods.
stereo cuts out at about half volume, sometimes all 4 speakers sometimes just two but only while engine is running. It all works perfectly while bike is shut off.
I thought maybe ground. It was grounded to the frame inside the fairing so I added 8 gauge ground wire back to battery but still happening.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Is it the headunit that powers off or the speakers? Did this just start happening or a new install? To start, I would check the battery output with a multimeter while the bike is off and with it running

the head unit stays powered. At around half volume the amp starts cutting out sometimes it two speakers another time could be all four but only happens with engine running. If I shut off the engine and keep the stereo on it performs flawlessly
