Default Speaker question...

It sounds like there is feed back or bleed over coming through my speakers, even when the radio is off. My bike is an 09' Ultra, any ideas?

Sounds like a ground wire problem.

I know it may sound silly but check to make sure your CB is off!

Not sure I understand fully what it is that you are experiencing.

Do you use the helmet speakers as well? I have noticed that the rocker switch to select bike speakers or helmet speakers has a middle position which selects both. In that mode the sound in the helmet speakers sounds like it has a feedback and this is quite disconcerting. Not sure why this switch position is required really

I am not using the helmet and my CB is off, the rocker switch is set to hear both speakers. It doesn't happen all the time only after riding for a while, it sounds like there is noise coming from the speakers as in feed back or bleed over, kind of a high pitch whine.

Thanks for any help
