Is it hard to fix? Are the parts even available?

Eric - Thank you very much for your help!!!

Yes, I did notice that the sound was not that clean and clear.

Yes, I did use the same speaker and wire for both separate and bridged test. I am a little confused on what you are saying about the 0 ohm of the inside terminals. Are you talking about the left negative and right positive for each side? Do you want me to messure from the front left negative to the ...

So I thought everything was fine but I was wrong, it's still goes into overload. I have gotten a little further with where the problem area is...the front two channels. I tried both channels by themselves and the amp would go into overload at about 1/4 of the normal volume. I then bridge the front c...

OK... I checked all the transistors and they tested ok. After I finished testing them I was a little bored so I decided to check the amp again. With the amp still completely out of its case, I first hooked up power only to it and it didn't go into overload mode once. I let it sit powered up for abou...

OK, I thought I knew how to test transistors but now that I read some stuff online....I'm confused. Can either of you point me in the direction or emplain to me what I need to look for and kind of how to?

Ok, I will start checking the transistors and let you know what the results are.

Thanks again for all the help!

WOW... I think I kind of understand what your saying. How do I go about testing all this stuff? what is my next step?

I do have a DMM and what is a BJT?

I looked at the board again and there is no areas that are discolored or anything that looks like heat damaged. I blew everything off with compressed air. I hooked the power back up and the same thing happpens. The weird thing is it does it randomly....as soon as the amp turns on it will go into ove...

I check the caps and they look fine to me. I also checked with a piece of paper and everything is dry...no leaking.

I have attached some pictures....tell me what you think. If you need any additional pictures let me know.

I disconnected everything but the power and it still goes into overload. I will take it back apart and see if any wire strands or if a glob a solder is causing it.

Thanks for the help guys!

I have my M44 running my mids and highs and just the other day out of nowhere they started fading out completely then they would fade back in. I looked at the amp as the sound started to fade out and the overload red LED came on. This would happen right when I first turn the radio on so it's not fro...
