This morning on my way in to work my right speaker went dead. I plan to do some trouble shooting when I get home but wanted to get some input before I started. The speakers are running off just the deck and are 4 ohm speakers. They are being under powered so I'm assuming they should not be blown due to distortion. I noticed the stock speakers were 2 ohms, could that be the issue? Any thoughts on what it could be?

 

well on the contrary.. and if this is a 06 or newer bike (man I sure wish the mods would required bikes to be in signature lines) :-)

then using a 4 ohm speaker requires the head unit to be turned to a higher volume to achieve same results as using a 2 ohm speaker. This causes distortion to be introduced. Normally there are only a couple of things that will kill a speaker, distortion and over-powering them.

You also don't mention what speaker it is. You might get lucky and pull the fairing to find it simply disconnected.

 

Ultra: I'm running PowerBass 6.5 mid ranges(tweeters have been ordered) that are rated at 110 rms. I've seen these things in action and they're awesome. I hope it's something simple. Smh

Oh yeah, Shuga(my bikes name) is a 2010.

 

if it just went out in a split second I would be looking at connections..

I don't know if I'm more perplexed that you named your bike or that you named it "Shuga"


jacking with ya!

 

LMAO When I rode her for the first time I felt like I do when I drink a Red Bull. So I named her SHUGA.
