Default I have a question about outputs on RF amplifiers?
I have a rf punch 40x2 it works powers on fine but the right channel puts out DC voltage it's deliverings it's full rail voltage to the speaker. What's causing this problem? Bad outputs? They are IRF540 and IRF9540. Or if not the outputs what else could it be? Thanks

Okay my best bet is to order a new set of IR fets. Do you happen to have any? I'm kinda afriad of buying counterfeit transistors. Haha orrr I have a blown punch 225.2 sitting here that has the same fets. But those mite be shorted.

Yes indeed I did find it to be shorted out. It had a very low resistance when I pulled them out. Do you think it's just a bad output MOSFET?
