i go for this one aswell, or maybe the cap is wired wrong or theirs not enough supply power? maybe the amp shuts down when the input power is to low?

then throw out the cap.... its just another thing t go wrong, and double triple check all the wiring! that means check everything three times, then do it again three times just to be sure...
