[QUOTE="Spooney, post: 7483206, member: 584130"] Vibration is terrible for amps. Some amps are constructed better than others but even a little vibration over a long period of time can cause major failures. There are people that would argue this to no end with me but I have repaired my fair share of amps and have seen plenty of amps fail because of vibration. You'll see things like legs snapped off of mosfets and connections pulled completely out of the board or cracked solder joints. Not guaranteeing that is what happened here but it is a possibilty. If you are saying that its taking approximately twice the input voltage that it was previously to get to the same output and you are confident your rca's and all other wiring are good then I would be pretty confident of a failure of the amp internally and if its within warranty there is no good reason not to send it back. Have you tried plugging in just one rca plug at a time? Like try plugging in the left one and see how that works and then powering the amp down and trying the same thing with the right one? Do you find that you only get sound when you plug in the left and nothing when you plug in the right or vice versa? [/QUOTE]
