[QUOTE="memphisspl, post: 3719756, member: 584124"] HEAT! Capacitors are like little batteries. Heat is a major cause of blown capacitors. Yours are rated at 85 degrees celsius (185 farenheit). The eletrolite inside expands beyond the point of capacity and they will ooze. When that happens the caps fail to hold a charge anymore. Fix your amp then find something to keep it cooler. BTW, I notice the 2 larger caps with the black tops in the middle in the pic have a buldging top as well. Those are also in need of replacement. They are gonna go soon too. [/QUOTE]
