Where to find part for amp?

I need two 5w 560 ohm resistors to fix an amp I just received. Where can I get these? I'm having trouble finding them online where I don't have to buy huge quantities.

Almost impossible for those resistors to go bad, must be something else wrong with your amp.... Unless they were just broken off (legs broken off) from vibration, I have seen that happen, but not in years.

Its a Vortex Ultimate VX2750. Hard to find info about it on the internet, but it's supposed to do like 750x2. I'm pretty positive it's those two resistors that are broken because there's little burn spots next to them and when I hook the amp up and run it those two get very hot and smell like they're burning, when none of the other resistors are hot.

There is probably much more damaged than just the resistors. Send the amp to a shop and have it checked out before you waste your time trying to fix it yourself.
