Cool Radio and speaker problems after connecting battery charger.

Don't know if this is the stupidest thing I've done yet but it has to be close.
Battery dead after setting for about a month with a trickle charger on it. So stupid me connected a car battery charger to see if it would turn over. In doing so I guess I fried something, (thinking it might have something to do with the volume control) radio still plays but a lot of noise and only popping and cracking out of right speaker, left speaker plays but not a lot of volume.
Thinking volume control because it seems to make a difference when I move it around. Is there something else I should check before replacing the switch? Thanks for any help you might offer. Forgot to mention that it is a 2002 Electra Glide Classic.

Have you fully charged and tested the battery yet? Low voltage will play weird tricks on your audio system.
