IA 20.1 RCA's Dead??

[walkychalky 10+ year member]

I installed my newest setup and everything was going good until i plugged the RCA's into the inputs on my 20.1 and got no sound. I had a problem with the RCA's coming loose from the circuit board before but never fixed it so i thought maybe the problem had just gotten worse. I tried re-soldering the connection but it still did not fix the problem. If i plug the RCA's into the input/ooutput for bridginfg i get sound but it is very poor and has alot of static coming from the signal. Is there any way to fix this? I bought the amp used a while back and it is no longer under warranty. Thanks!

Any Audio shop might help you out. I have a friend locally that repairs amps, he actually does all the amps locally. the audio shops send them to him for repairs...

yah well my stepdad is an engineer who works on circuit boards for a living so id just have him do it.....but i'd have to go through the trouble of locating a replacement RCA block first

Are the gold plugs still on the rca input of the amp? Are they loose? A few of the newer RCA manufacturers have cables that fit so tight they are pulling the gold plugs out of our amps.
