New solder on the RCA internals.

i opened up the amp, the guts look good behind the rca plugs, and i've been threw 2 sets of rca wires both with the same results

Id try new RCAs first, cheapest possible remedy...

i already went thru 2 sets of rca's, i might add that this is a factory system with a line out converter, but it has been workin fine for almost 3 years and then suddenly it goes in and out, mostly out but occasionally it magically comes on

Try replacing the LOC and see what happens maybe?

if you can wiggle it and it plays, its the rca connectors on the amp. The amp needs repairing. Happened to me years ago.
