You have a blown up cap and yes it is a generic part and can be found most anywhere there are parts being sold...just keep the capacitence figure as close as possible to the original and if you cant find the exact replacement go highter in value..not lower..If you cant find it anywhere Im sure I have the exact one here in a rockford in the parts heap...it is possible theres something else wrong..but not allways is the case...remove the bad cap and try to start the amp up..if theres nothing else wrong it should start up..dont put it under a laod with no cap in it..meaning-dont hook speakers up to it or RCA's..just see if it powers up and you'll know if theres anything else wrong with it...then get the cap and put it in it and you'll be fine..Maybe you should consider replaceing all the larger filter caps in the amp while your at it..they dont cost much and you'll know that your all good in the cap department after that..
