It's not going to produce nearly 300 watts. Look up the owner's manual on the Rockford site. Don't expect any more than ~20% over the rated power (stated in the owner's manual).
Since you've already purchased it, you should repair it unless the circuit board is badly damaged. If the board is badly damaged, try to return it for a refund.

well the amp is rated for 120w @ 4ohm bridged. So pushing 2ohm is beyond specifications. I think it would it be 240w + 20% = 288w? I think these specs were @ 12v.
I actually got 2 of these from that guy and one works and I'm running it at 2ohm bridged.
Just noticed ampguts doesn't have this amp. I should take some pics of the internals for ampguts. Here's a pic of a similar amphttp://ampguts.realmofexcursion.com/Rockford_Fosgate_60x2/inside1.jpg
the 2 transistors that look burned are on the left and right. The ones under the metal sandwitch heatsink thingy. Do those cost a lot to replace?

I been buying parts from these guys off and on for 10 years or more out here in Cali. A good firm to do business with. My buddy at his shop has been using PCP for years....And all he does is car audio repair professionally at the 6 figure level of business.....
So PCP is a very good firm to do business with IMO...And it's nice to know that they are carrying RF parts now also along with all the others they carry, like Kenwood, Alpine, etc.....
Keep up the good business guys....and THX....
here's some pics
OVERVIEW
Side 1 - transistor 2nd down and last one down look no good
Side 2 - transistor top doesn't look good
Side 2 - better view of it (bottom in this pic) looked like it exploded!

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

I haven't had a chance to do anything yet. I just took those pictures. I will try to check it tomorrow.
oops, forgot to attach schematic
60.2_schematic
trying to figure out what is what on the schematic to the pics.
is the LM317/LM337 the rectifiers? and IRFZ40 the FETs?
And are R19 and R20 the gate resistors?
