Amplifier circuit Board Part info

Hey guys Ive been doing some work on an amplifier replacing the RCA jacks on the circuit board and right behind the jacks itself on the board was 2 tiny yellow square parts attached to the board and when i finished soldering the rcas off they broke off the board, trying to figure out what the part is and what it is used for. Also if the amp can still operate without it. Thank you guys, needing much help on this one!!

Thanks. These are capacitors but we need to know the exact lettering on them. I would guess at 0.1uF, in which case the lettering should include 104j. Alternatively take the old ones to your local electronics store and ask them.

The amplifier seems to be a 400W in-car system, complete with sub-woofer speakers of 4(!!) or 2(!!!) ohms presumably intended to deafen everyone within a five mile radius.
