Low ohms lights on; Transistor Brown, replace it; low ohms light is off now and everything seems to work fine execpt when in low volume, it sounds good. When increase the gain, it hit for 1 second hard, and then goes back and doesn't hit hard no more. The sound quality is good, its just sound so weak that's it. And when installing the amp, it sparks like crazy when putting the neg in and then the pos or vice versa. Usually it sparks one time and then your good. But this time after replacement of the transistor, it's crazy all the time when put back in or out. I think its th transistor that is causing it and Any tip will help. Thank You. Oh, do you know where I can buy some transistor for JL Audio amp spec?

Usually all amps spark a little when hooked up again after a while of no use. this happen cause there are many little capacitors inside to keep the amp running when hitting long bass notes. I think the reason you have been having problem after replacing the transistors is because there not the rite model number or maybe the polarity. You mite have to call jl and ask them if they have any in stock or google the model number of the transistor and buy them and replace them and see if it work. if it doesnt work then it mite be something else inside.
