Still very frustrated as to exactly what happened on the stereo.

My best guess is there was a tiny solder blob that I knocked loose near the input of the stereo when I desoldered the jumper that connected the amp to the volume control pad on the pcb. It looks like someone had put in a helper cap at some point, as it was zip tied to the chassis, but it also looked very factory in that it was zipped to a support that seemed to have no other function. I noticed the tiny blob and knocked it off when desolder the jumper.

Who knows maybe its been that way for a long time. You could use it the way it was if you just kept the balance turned almost off on one channel, and did not mind the mis match of tone (the overlly loud channel did not respond to any of the tone controls). I was too tired to mess with trying to figure it out, by then I just wanted it working as I was up till 1am last nite messing with it, even missed the rockford files...
