My Hifonics melted...can I fix it?

[T9X 10+ year member]

I don't know how, I don't know why but I got into my car the other day and my amp stopped working. I disconnected everything and checked it out and here's what I found -

What I'm wondering is can I fix this myself? The thing still turns on and powers up (the Hifonics logo still lights up) but nothing is making its way to the speakers. I own a soldering iron and have some basic skills but I guess my biggest problem is I don't know where to find the parts. There aren't any real electronics shops around here that carry individual transistors. Let me know what you guys think..

Radioshack sells all kinds of resistors, transistors, and everything else you would need to repair that yourself...however, there is still the question of "What else burned up?"

Best bet is to take it into a shop and see how much they would charge to repair it. That will probably cost you up to $100 though. I guess you could always try to do the repair yourself first, then take it in if it doesn't fix it...but chances are it will cost you more that way.

Contact DEI and ask them for the individual values if you cannot read them due to the burns.

Radio shack might have the resisters there but they may not be exact. Mouser is very cheap and fast.

Well I was thinking about getting a better amp anyways. :/

Maybe this confirms that thought..
