[QUOTE="IDSkoT, post: 7208447, member: 584344"] Yeah. I mean, it might not be a blow fet or resistor. There's a lot of things that can possibly go wrong with these amplifiers. If you think it's vibration, go ahead and open the case and start wiggling things. If you notice something is wiggling, solder it back on. The issue with a soldering joint that's been vibrated off is that you'll get intermittent function. And it all depends on how that amp functions. Some amps (like my Boss), once whatever it is that put it into protect fixes (I.E. Temperature) it goes out of protection mode. But most amps, once they're switched onto protect, they won't come out until the next power cycle. But, if you think it's worth it, start fooling around. The worst you can do, honestly, is nothing. Regardless of what anyone says on these forums, audio amplifiers are not that complex, nor are they that amazing. The only difference in them is the choice of amplifying chips and the choice of heat sink. [/QUOTE]
