Default Boom Audio Speaker not blown but no sound

I have a 2014 CVO limited with the Boom Audio system. Three of the four speakers work. I took the front (throttle side) speaker out of the Batwing and tested it and it works. I checked and cleaned the connectors, still no sound. Is each speaker independently fused? Next steps? Thoughts?

Sounds like a break in the wire, likely at the connector? Just a long distance guess.

Did you swap left for right and see if the problem follows the speaker? If the problem stays on the right side, a probable plug or wire issue. You can also check for speaker output voltage. A digital multi meter set on AC voltage will tell you if the amp has output.

Could be the amp. Had a similar issue and it was that channel on the amp.

Dumb but really easy check. Check to see if the fader was not pushed to the other side....
