Default Speaker Cut out

Looking for some help. 2016 RG special. Ive installed Rockford stage II front fairing speakers. Had JM Rokkers for a few years that blew. With no problems at all. I have the JM rokker Amp. currently installed. Nothing has changed with Amp or wiring. Installed the speakers and sounded like ****. Tried the Biketronics LL and it helped but still didnt sound good. Had the bike flashed and its sounds a ton better, a ton. Still have the Biketronics LL installed. On the way home from getting it flashed the left speaker cut completely out. Thought it did so when I hit a manhole cover so I tried hitting another and it cut back in. After a couple of times I figured a connection problem so i took the fairing off and started wiggling wires. Left speaker cut out when wiggling the RCA's. They are old so I replaced but same issue. Left speaker will cut out on a few bumps at high volume but then seems to stop. Didnt have this problem before the Rockford stage 2 speaker install. Should I remove the Biketronics LL and readjust everything? is it another issue? Kinda stumped at this point. Never had an issue with the JM speakers so I dont know. I put the JM Rokker speakers and AMP setup in with no issues. No Flashing just install and away I went Sounded great. Somewhat disappointed In Rockford setup at this point.

Thanks for any help

You wont find much help here for either system. The regulars here just do not run them. With the flash you do not need the BT LL's. RE check every connection and you can change the RCA input to the from left to right and see if the problem follows.

Depending on what flash you got on the HU, you wont need the LL anymore and that is just one less to cause connection issues. If you replaced the RCA and still having the exact same issue, the problem is the what the rca is pluged into. What flash did you get on the HU? I am unfamiliar with the JM amps but make sure it is 2 ohm compatible. Get these:

Amazon.com: Metra Electronics AX-MLOC-HD1 : Automotive Amazon.com: Metra Electronics AX-MLOC-HD1 : Automotive

for your connection from speaker to amp. Check the amp rca inputs to make sure you got good connection to the amp.
