The KTP-445U is a 4-channel power booster that can be used as 2-channel. It's not exactly the highest quality sounding unit, but in a restricted space install it can be useful. It distorts horribly if pushed, by the way.
Back to the original question, what kind of motorcycle? Many bikes do not have a very stable 12V system, and in fact often fluctuate from 8V up to 20V depending on the engine RPM. This can play havoc with audio electronics. Also, the extreme vibrations in some bikes like older Harleys can cause electronics to fail and to do all sorts of strange things.

It's a Yamaha Star Stryker. I am pretty sure I've got it all figured out. I took it all apart and checked the wiring. With everything being so tight back there and no where to really tie the wires up, it looks as if the speaker wire was getting between the speaker and the basket. I fixed it, adjusted the gains on the amp up slightly (to help prevent distortion by having to turn the radio up). So it sounds absolutely amazing now at only 1/2 volume on the radio and so far no further issues. Thank you guys for the help.
