I have a Kenwood amp and only the back outputs seem to work. Any ideas on what to check for and if possibly to repair? Everything else seems to work fine.

Just to be sure it's the amp and not the input, try swapping the RCAs to verify. If the same channels stay "dead" with a known good input you can also try swapping speaker connections to rule out bad speakers. If it still points to the amp, does it have one fuse or two? If two, make sure one of them is not blown. If the inputs are OK, the speakers are OK, and there is no blown fuse, then it is likely the amp itself is gone. It could possibly be repaired by an authorized service center, but it may cost more than the amp is worth. Good luck!

Yeah Ive looked into those other sources. I guess I will have to junk it.

It might be worth having it looked at and get a repair estimate before you junk it.
