The 4 resistors you question are the 681 ohm 1% resistors and I think Kustom may have lost track of things because the schematic calls out all resistors to be 1/2 watters and these 4 are .250 watt resistors!

I would replace all 4 of these with 1/2 watt 1% metal film type resistors and then give the amp a good long test out up at atleast a 80 watt RMS output level to confirm they will not run hot again.
