[QUOTE="Rurockn, post: 6989910, member: 553103"] [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif[/IMG] So anyway... I replaced the caps and hit a few fets that looked like they were cold soldered. Plugged it in and holy crap, it was loud! About 4-5 months ago the amp got quite on me one day, so I adjusted the input. In reality, that must have been when it first started to fail. Anyway, I have input set where I had it when it was brand new, however, it still squeaks. I have to wait 4 weeks to borrow an oscope when my buddy is back in town. I'm a mech. engineer and barely ever touch a circuit; does anyone have a suggestion or should I wait until I can borrow the scope? Also, what is a decent amp these days? I have had a Brutus bxi600d running a Rockford HX2 at 2ohms since 2004/2005? in my Focus and never had an issue with it, it still works great. But this bxi1206d I put in my Mustang only lasted two years; seems like Hifonics quality went downhill at some point. If I buy a new amp, I want it to last longer than 2 years. Especially because I only drive the Mustang in good weather, so in reality the 1206 was barely used compared to the 600. [/QUOTE]
