Amplified speaker help
Evening all,
I just wanted to see if anyone here could throw out any ideas to try in order to fix my amplified speaker system I just put in. I have a soundstream pn4.5200 amp, ran KnuKoncept wiring kit (fantastic kit by the way, best I have ever used), used a Line output converter to get the stock speaker leads to RCA, then attached to focal ic 165 speakers. It is a 2013 Road Glide by the way.
Now that you know all the components, I hooked up the entire system and everything sounded amazing. Bustin eardrums at 1/2 volume. Anyways, I started to button everything back up in the fairing and as soon as I got the fairing back on, a loud screeching sound came from the speakers and has continued since. I checked the ground and there were no kinks as I ran the ground wire back to the negative terminal. I removed the ground from the battery terminal and tried it on the fairing mount to no avail. Long story short I went through the entire wiring and have narrowed it down to the outputs from the amp. When I move them around to a different position the signal clears momentarily depending on the exact position but I can not get it to stay clear.
If anyone has any ideas on what it could possibly be please post. The only other idea that I could possibly think is that the amp has drawn too much from the battery because it is a 500 watt amp and I left it running on battery power alone while I ziptied and put back on the fairing which did not allow the alternator to spool, which would explain why it began screeching so suddenly. I was thinking about getting the gas tank on and starting her up then check the results, but I would really be upset if the problem was not resolved and I would have to get the tank back off again.
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank You

Yes I tried that but the high level input connecters that were supplied for the amp were not very sturdy and I decided that it would be better to run them on RCAs. I will try switching back tomorrow and see it that helps, but I had reached my aggravation limit for one day.
