Speaker crapped out--need help troubleshooting
« on: June 29, 2014, 12:00:15 AM »

Lost my left speaker and tweeter a couple of days ago while on a road trip to Alaska.  Any tips on how I should start trouble shooting it when I get home?  Speaker, cross-over, amp?  It's a Hawg wired system with two speakers and two tweeters, 4 cross-overs.

Not sure what year your bike is but I lost the right speaker in the fairing due to a broken wire at the iPod connector at the right saddlebag. Using the radio and the CD player the speaker worked fine. They replaced the wire from the connector to where it plugs inside the fairing. Works fine now.
Thankfully it was under warranty.

Oh, mine is an '09. I use an ipod in the right glove box with a connector to the rear of the radio

You may try to plug another speaker into the wires once the fairing is removed.  This would tell you if it's the speaker or not.   One thing I would do is check the balance or fader on the radio head unit first make sure it didn't get changed by accident.   Would do that first before you find out you took the fairing off for nothing.
