So my wife has been nagging me to figure out what is going on with her '14 Lancer equipped with the Rockford Fosgate system that we recently purchased. The Head unit works fine and all that jazz, but no sound. Checked the fuses then I decided to remove the driver seat to check the amplifier. From what i can see this thing must have been cooking in salt and i'm pretty sure its beyond repairable(ill leave pictures below) So what i'm posting here for is some advice on what to do next. Replace the amp hoping that was the issue (pretty sure it is lol) but this comes at around 700 to 800$ CAD for a OEM Amplifier. Or could i possibly fix something else up, maybe a conversion to an cheaper amp or newer fosgate amp ,while keeping the head unit and sub speakers etc.
Audio systems I know nothing about, I'm a trained auto tech, just never have messed with Audio systems in cars, if it didn't work to me it was a big oh well. Hopefully someone in this forum has had this issue and solved it, thanks in advance, trying to get this repair to be limited to 300$ if I can, finger crossed
