Default Satelite radio/speaker question

2011 ultra. Boom Audio speakers work fine -both sides loud with cd/am/fm/ fader set in middle.( Fader seems more front to back then left right anyway). However when playing XM the left speaker way louder than right. What gives. Is this some kind of stereo separation or whatever? Didn't know they recorded stereo in the fifties lol. Any body else having this problem? I'm running aux cable to front of radio.

Fader is front / back.

Balance is left / right.

Unfortunately, the HK radio doesn't have a balance setting.

I don't know why the XM output would be different than the other media.

That happens when the connection coming from the xm isn't making good contact. kinda like when you have headphones not plugged in all the way.

When I switch to my XM from AUX or radio, it's not nearly as loud. I think it's just the XM module.

I would go buy a heavy duty sorta expensive cable those cheap ones dont stand up well against the vibes of the bike.

X 2 that. I use the good heavy ones too. Cheap ones degrade like you wouldn't believe
