Default Not Photoshopped. Anyone want a gold amp?

Anyone want a gold amp so I can buy a black one?

Anyone ever heard of something like this happening? My Cadence FXA-5100 amp turned GOLD within a few days. I guess it's from UV from sunlight or something...

It's almost completely GOLD in color. I'm not into GOLD, otherwise I'd keep it. I either want to get it swapped out for a new one, or if someone wants a gold one, buy me a new one and let's switch.

I have NEVER heard of this happening before.

My Fosgate did the same thing! I have both amps mounted in the same place that you do and each amp has 3 panels, one panel on one amp turned gold! My stereo guy said he has never seen that and will order a new panel for it.
