Yes, your amp probably needs replacing. One of those dreaded issues that comes with no warnings.

There's a thread that contains the name of a company that does repairs at a reasonable rate. Good luck.

Who quoted you $725? Is that repair and labor to remove and reinstall?

Yes, more than likely bad amp. This question along with many others can be found in the FAQ/DIY sticky thread located at the top of our 460/600 forum.

Here is the link to the FAQ main list of topics

Here are the existing amp threads in the FAQ. Please continue the discussion in one of those, thank you
