Hifonics oldschool amp gen XI channel problem?

[miztahsparklez]

Ive been having this problem for awhile, and ive realized it only happens when its cold out. once it warms up, the left side fades back in. today, it didnt fade back in... but just from the symptoms above, im thinking some capacitors are bad, just because when it warms, it works perfectly fine.

is there anything else that may have gone bad? when its not working, the right channel is EXTREMELY loud. like all the power is going to one side. then gradually fades to the other side and becomes crystal clear instead of all distorted.
its also a 4 channel amp.. i think the fronts are only affected. rears are fine. (running rears in mono L and R channels to power upper bass speakers)

theres a possibility that its from my sound processor. but i dont think it is. ill have ot double check.

I would do two things. The first thing here is you could have solder issues with the amp board. Most of the car audio I have repaired was solder problems due to hot/cold and vibrations. I would plug an ipod into the amp rca inputs and test it first thing in the morning. That will take you processor out of the picture. If the amp still acts up you will know it`s the amp. I put items in question in my fridge and your solder problems will show up. ( don`t let your wife see ) It runs about 40-45degrees, somtimes I use the freezer, I don`t recommend this for customer stuff only my own.
second,
always check your wires
ohm your outputs each channel, keep above 2 ohm
ground loops

good luck,cadiman
