installed j & m 7.25 fairing & saddlebag speakers & bazooka 200 wt amp on my 2010 road glide. sounds great sitting in the drive but cuts out when bike picks up speed going down the road. the wires were plug & play but amp has a clump of wires that crowded everything up. any suggestions on how to dtermine the source of my problem? thanks
man troubleshooting something like this might be a real simple task or could take hours.
I would start with the bundle of wires you're referring to by moving the bundle around with your hands to try and duplicate the issue. I would suspect (since I assume all speakers are cutting out) that you have one of the following issues.
speaker outputs from radio to amp inputs are making intermittent connection
