I am running a MQ430 that has the 2 extra caps installed. I bought it like this and changed all the caps about a year ago. Some of you have seen this amp, its the one that Valeks hot rodded. Problem is the 2 extra caps look like they are bulging on the top. The other 4 look fine. This amp does not get run very hard at all. What can cause this and what is the best thing for me to do? Thanks guys!

If they are bulging from the top (or barely look like it) I would replace them...make sure you keep the voltage rating the same as they may be either the rail caps or B+ filtering caps, can't say unless a pic is posted.
