Default Stereo with no sound after Start

I have a kenwood KIV 700 with mini amp and hawg wired controls. For some reason lately it works greet with the accessory position but not in the ignition position. The stereo is on but no sound when starting the bike and sometimes will make a pop sound from the speakers when starting the bike. I can shut the bike off turn back to accessory and then back to ignition and start the bike and then it works.

So my question is this a bad signal or a bad ground issue ?

Where do you have the amp. turn on wire hooked into? Had the same problem moved the turn on to the wire from the head unit no problem now.

Start looking for your grounds/connections and see where you're at after that.
