Default rockford fosgate bd15001

When you hook power up to this amp the light blinks and u can hear the torriod hissing loudly. I checked the fets and outputs all test good. I tryed twisting the torriod it quiets it a lil til u let go and then hiss's loud again

Wondering what i should check next?

Is it drawing excessive current?

Does it have any DC on the speaker terminals?

What DC voltage do you have on pin 6 of U21?

One time I can reduce the noise by painting transformer glue (something like elastic nail polish) to the toroid (to bond the wires) and deflecting that black/red cable (next to the toroid) away from the toroid.

Does the amp produce audio and the only problem is the hissing?

When driving the amp with a strong preamp signal (~1v) and the gains set to at least 1/2, do you have any audio on pin 1 of U4?

What is the DC voltage measured directly across the red and black wires? Be careful not to allow the probes to short to anything when measuring the voltage.
