[QUOTE="Deiimos, post: 8774966, member: 682903"] Out of curiosity, which model Rockford is it? Yes you replace with the same exact part, and all in the same parallel group. If the parts are obsolete / no longer manufactured, you can run into problems substituting and this is where you need an oscilloscope to help make sure whatever you sub in, is going to work okay and not run hot, etc., sometimes it takes a bit of testing, sometimes you may not find a good replacement. Some amps are very picky with what MOSFET's you install, others you might need to change a resistor value to make them work properly. Like I said, that forum is the best you will find for someone willing to actually walk you through a repair, if you can follow instructions well. If you are more serious about car amplifier repair, the BCAE1 car amplifier repair tutorial, is very in-depth (created by Perry Babin who helps people repair amps at that diyaudio forum, extremely knowledgeable guy, if he can't walk you through a repair, nobody can).
