It must just be my luck, but today after ordering the Lower fairing speakers for liquid cooled models (amp, harness, etc.), I went for a couple hour ride. The audio system has been pretty rock solid once the loose ground issue was figured out creating intermittent cut outs (five dealer trips 1.5hrs away). As I am rolling down the road I completely lost the rear saddle bag speakers while the fronts just kept on going. I originally thought I lost an amp. When I rolled into the garage turned off the bike hit the accessory switch and the rear speakers came back on with the exception of the left rear woofer. I have not done any diagnostic work other than just check pins and sockets. All seem to be good. I will do a quick resistance check on the left and right to see if I have a blown speaker, but I would be surprised. Not sure why the rear amp would completely cut out if I just lost a channel on the amp or a speaker is blown. Any thoughts?

Quick update 8-30-16, the left rear woofer is blown. I am not sure why when volume never exceeds 1/2 to 3/4. I guess I will order a new rear set of speakers since Harley does not cover blown speaker under warranty. See if it happens again.

I've had both my rear speakers replaced under warranty. both failed but not at the same time. you may also want to check the large plug on the left bag for signs of arcing or burning, that's an issue i had with mine.

They replaced mine under  warranty.

Harley does cover blown speakers under factory warranty.
