Default System issues.... Harmon kardon possibly?

So over the winter I installed a sound stream amp p4.520d and a set of mm651s on my 2013 sg. Haven't ridden the bike much becouse of the weather but it has all worked perfectly. So I went to bike week in daytona and all was good for about my first 800 miles of riding, but the something started to act up. I was jamming my tunes going down the indo state when all of a sudden i loose my highs. Like both tweeters shut off! Then a few minutes later my right speaker shut down and stayed off for about a half hour. After stopping for fuel and shutting the bike off I fueled up and turned the bike back on and then the right speaker would play but the left would not play?!?! My question is..... Does this sound like a head unit problem? I'm wondering if the head unit gets hot and starts shutting things down or something? There were even a few occasions after that where I had no sound at all so it seems something has a mind of its own. HELP!!!!

Sounds to me like your MM's came unglued and broke the tweeter mount. There was widespread problems with them not too long ago.

Would they continue to play if that was the case? I will be tearing it apart tonight or tomorrow to find out for sure but any info is helpful. As of right now the right speaker plays and sounds normal but the right speaker isn't doing much of anything but giving me a crackling sound
