Hello I am repairing an eclipse xa5000 I recently got and when I opened it the power supply had smoked and the subchannel had shorted fets as well. I fixed the power supply and cleaned the switches for the 4 channel section. Now the amp comes on and the first 4 channels sound great. The sub channel, however, makes a static noise that increases with the gain on the amplifier, the audio I feed to the subwoofer channel also works though. I have replaced a bunch of caps across the amplifier that either had high ESR or lower then spec capacitance. I am unable to get the static to go away with heat. the only thing that changes the tone of the static is when the heat gun gets close to the EQ controls it picks up the 60hz hum from the gun.
I am unfamiliar with icepower amplifiers and I have never had to dig into amplifiers this much. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
