i have an eclipse 34320 that is acting strange. i have 2 10" crachendos and 2 alpine tweets hooked to it. while listening to music it at times will drop volume a few DB and then raise it back up again. maybe 2 or 3 seconds at a time. it also will have popping sounds every now and then, often when its higher vocal songs and mostly from the tweets. this popping will go away on its own and is most of the time separated by 30 seconds or so and its one pop at a time. however it will have horrendous distortion some times and the popping will be rapid secession. i also do not have any right audio, the amp is playing both left and right channels from the left Chanel input.


in all of these situations turning the volume up or down often fixes it for the time being.

where should i start in fixing this?

im going to start off with checking out the RCA and selectors, perhaps they are loose or there is a bad trace some where, the amp is rather old after all. i might just go outside and dig into it now. i hope its a simple fix as i bought the amp not long ago for 100 bucks.

the left channel gets more power than the right, its just louder. the high pass filter is non functional but thats kind of a moot point i suppose as i have an external xover. there is a thin grounding wire that goes from teh PCB to the case. it is chared and looks as if its been on fire. its in two pieces and very crumbly. the right Chanel RCA port is not solid, by moving the RCA cable around it will distort and break up. where can i find a replacement RCA port to solder onto the PCB for this amp? nothing else looks damaged on the amp.
