It could have been a factory repair back then? They looked factory soldered to the mehsa board or I could be wrong. I blew a fet in the power supply a piece just blew off when the prob shorted the legs and I jumped! Strange the amp was still on would have figured it would have caused a massive melt down! I took out all 8 fets and checked gate voltage all 8 sit at a steady 4.51 vdc but still going to rebuild the whole power supply.
I'm piecing up a parts list right now
8x 3205's
8x 47 ohm resistors (smd)
And I already have a ton of new smd driver transistors ready.
I think so too when I looked at them. Thought about changing them but would make no sense bc the other bank is totally different. Ordering new everything soon I really hope this gets rid of that problem so I can fix the other channel.
I personally have used 68 ohm gate resistors with IRF3205's.
I have opened amps (warranty seals in tact) and seen 68 ohm gate resistors with the IRF3205's straight from Rockford.
The only reason I switched to 47 ohm was because Perry told me it was a better choice and he explained why but I cant remember now. Now I recommend it to everyone. It has proven to me to be a reliable combo.
The fact that the power supply FETS do not have matching date codes, nor do they even have matching part numbers is a problem. This will cause problems and could be causing what you are experiencing.
