ohh 'm sorry i didnt know your amps dont age or have wear n tear...yours
never run out.....
oh wait you said no amps ever wear out. ok
i guess your amp dont use electricity either.
electricity by itself can cause trouble.
glad i learned this from the pros here .


"Wear" can happen as electrolytic caps "dry out" etc. Modern manufacturing
processes and component evolution dictates that wear is minimal on a
component level. Devices subject to excessive vibration can develop cracked
solder joints etc but this is an easy fix. Ususlly once it's fixed
correctly then it's fixed.

"Correctly" is if you pop a transistor on one channel replace all of it's
complementary transistors. Same with switching FETs. Components rarely
suffer wear these days as much as they suffer failure from abuse in car
audio. Once the faulty components are replaced and the others that took the
brunt of the blow from the failure then there is absolutely no reason for it
to perform as new for the longevity of a new device.
