Default Soundstream and polk issue

Installed the the 520 amp with mm651 speakers sounded great then all of sudden started to have issues. Left speaker cut out then the right sounded shitty. Shut off the bike then the left speaker came back on as normal no right speaker . Rode a bit then did same thing , shut off bike the. Left worked again . I think the right is f'd up gonna rip apart and check for bad connection ruins ? Anyone have issues? Gains were turned down low and gains on head unit were under half also ? Am I better to get RCA adapter or use the low level inputs? Also I have a 2011 street glide and I used the instructions that ultranutz put up thanks guys

right outta the starting gate having these issues, I'd suspect some wiring possibly.

Is the amp wired to the speakers using the front or the rear outputs of the amp?

i unplugged the bad side of the speaker tried it in the other side still the same sound then i just un plugged the bad speaker and rode for a bit sounded good i think i smoked the speaker . so now the fun part of trying to get warranty work from buying from amazon may just order a new set and have a spare speaker .i think it was causing the amp to go into protection mode from the bad speaker
