me and my buddy hooked it up just the other day and it played fine. if something happens here soon i will be getting what i traded back u can believe that.

Whatever you traded might not be worth as much as that amp. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Old school PG is the shit. Anything of that era is usually highly collectible. I'm a big PG and Fosgate fan from that era.

Fix the caps dont be ignorant and not do it and ruin a great amplifier, Head to the Phonix Phorum and read up on it. ALL OS phonix gold amps should have this done period doesnt matter if it works good or not all the large caps leak its a flaw in the design of the caps they purchased.

How much does it cost to have someone replace the caps?

Not much. These are the caps to use. CAP 5600UF 16V ELECT HE RADIAL - UHE1C562MHD6. That's the ones Dr. Fosgate from the PG forum uses. He had a write up on there when it was soundbuggy. I'm sure you could probably still find it. It's pretty easy to do even for a novice solderer.

I have Eric's soundbuggy link in my favs. Here's the tutorial Leaking Phoenix Gold Capacitor Replacement Tutorial

That M44 does about ~70 x 4 @ 4 ohms IIRC. It was pretty comparable to the PG ZX450 amp as far as power goes.
