Are there any other issues with the amp?
This amp is two ohm stable if the amp was driving less than a two ohm load, this may have shortened the lifespan of these caps.
I see this from time to time and if there are no other issues, replacing the caps should take care of the problem.

This is a common problem. Replacing the outputs and caps should fix the amp. You can replace all the outputs and filter caps, but I don't think it's necesssary.
Again, the failure may be due to the amp being worked too hard.

alright do you know a good source for these parts? I got this amp with a lot of others from a pawn shop as they had been returned as broken so i have no idea the past of this amp but i think your right just someone who didnt know what they was doing probly had the gains completely up
Here is a link for the IXTQ36N30P's. You may be able to buy them from Allied or Digikey.
IXTQ36N30P IXYS | Mouser
The caps can be replaced with anyting with the same value and same footprint, maybe Nichicon or Vishay.
Or someone else on this forum may be able to recommend a good source. If you can find a spare parts board that would work.
2200UF 25V 105 degree for the filter caps and 10UF 200V non polarized for the caps near the output inductors.

alright thanks alot i appreciate it ill get the parts orderedand installed and hopefully have no more issues if im lucky enough
My bad! I stand correctly, I thought that didn't sound right as I typed it. Too many irons in the fire!
The following ebay auction has something close. I purchased 10 of them from this seller but never used them so I don't know if they're good quality.

thanks Perry. I just noticed actually a post from back in 2012 you had put part number ef2106 from digikey i was thinking maybe of just doing that also
I use those in amps where there is enough space but I don't think they will fit in the kicker amp. If they will fit, the film caps should work. I know that they're good quality caps.
would you happed to know the dimension of the 820uf 160v cap that is in these amps i dont have anything to measure with at the moment
Update on this amp. found the NP caps on a parts amp I had in the bin and I ordered the other caps and outputs from mouser got them installed and amp is working. Thanks Perry and PapaZBill for the help.
I let the amp idle for a couple hours and i check it and the amp is warm and its drawing 5.18 amps. i opened the top cover and the output inductor is very hot too hot to touch for a second and almost all big caps in the amp are warm
