thanks for the reply dudmuck,

if this is just a DC blocking cap, i guess a ceramic disc cap is as good as any.

the first thing im going to do is bypass the fuse arrangement, but i have a couple of questions about that.

the positive lead splits off at the fuse connectors and one lead goes to one board, and the other goes to the other board, however only one of these leads is attached to a "button diode". why is that?

second, the fuses in my amp are each 25 amp fuses, for a total of 50 amps.
is this really enough? or should i fuse it with a higher amperage fuse when i get rid of the old fuse holders?

oh, and booty, thanks for reminding me of mike. i will contact him and see what he has to say.
