My neighbor opened up his dash on both of his Yamahas (installed by Village Golf Carts) and they have this voltage regulator between the switched power and the speakers:

DC 5.5~32V to 1~27V 5A Buck Converter/Adjustable Voltage Regulator/Car Adapter/Power Supply Module/Driver Module

What would be the purpose of this? Just to make sure the voltage going into the speakers would be around 12 v without the spikes, etc? Doesn't seem like the speakers would be that sensitive since they're designed to be connected directly to a motorcycle battery.
Here is my GUESS, some Yamahas have a problem with the voltage regulator that causes the battery to be overcharged and the voltage to go the 17+ volts, this regulator would stabilize the voltage to the speakers. IMHO, the fix should have been applied to the golf cart voltage regulator.
