Remove the two transistors that were directly connected to the two resistors that caused the most significant drop in the voltage across the other resistors when you removed the resistors from the circuit.
If you haven't yet remove the clamp from the transistors, do so as is shown in the following graphic.

You can replace the 2 ohm resistor with a fuse (nothing larger than 15 amp for now). If it produces audio, you'll need to replace all of the output transistors in that channel. If it doesn't produce clean audio from both channels, you'll have to do a bit more troubleshooting.
Ok, I have it hooked up to my full range speakers but all I am getting is lows coming out of amp. This makes since, since I believe I had it set for a sub. But I just looked for my book and cannot find it. I was going to try and set it for full range. But there is sound out of both sides, I just don't know if its clear until I can set the crossover to full range.
So it sounds as if what I should do is replace the transistors on that side. If that is the case I want to thank you. You are a God send to us out here who want to save these amps. There is so little info out there, your knowledge is priceless. Thank you for taking your time to deal with amateurs like myself, I have learned a lot.
