Default Arc Amp Problem
Any idea's would help. The amp seems to be cutting out. I get 4 flashs on the power button. Everything was fine and last weekend I hit a bump in the road . Since then I've been having this problem.

Sounds like you may have shorted a speaker wire. The amps have built in protection that shut down the audio in case a speaker wire gets grounded. Check your wires all the way from the amp to the speakers. Chances are one has gotten nicked and grounded. Otherwise you have an amp or a speaker going bad.

Check your ground wire. Make sure you have a good ground to the frame. I used the bolt for the crash bar.

The winner is a bad speaker. Man I've only had the arc 6.5" for a year. Well I'll have to ride with one speaker until I figure out what to do next.
