Hello,
This amp Has blowd up, fixed and now again does not work.
Amp side seems ok, maybe some measurement differences shown on fets.
Regulator side larger difference on quick measurement between 2 lm337´s.
Power supply there is 2 shorted per side.
Is it good thing at this point change all the parts hugging heatsink?
rca´s ripped too, i need schematics cause otherside of the board has things going on.
Does anyone has picture of new rca rockford used these amps, ground pin is rather interesting, maybe i have to use some jumpers

I wouldn't worry about 40mv of DC. Some consider the limit to be about 25mv.
If you want to chase it down, the differential amplifier transistors are where I'd start. You need to use transistors from the same batch and you may have to try multiple pairs to get the lowest offset (or whatever you consider acceptable).

That area on the board is so tight with my tools i dont wanna touch.
i was told rather changing those transistors maybe change resistor size Rx83or Rx69, what do you think about that?
those resistors are on same crowded area
Today amp was playing 3ohm mono full range over 4 hours, bias set to 2mV, heatsink barely 30celcius

Okay,
Started to work with channel which had 40mV dc, took Q425 and Q424 off with heatgun.
crowded area so tried to be careful with heat.
After changing them turned amp on, saw 16mv DC keeping probes on, saw high numbers, there was cold soldering on Q424 slightly touching it it went down to 16mV again.
fixed soldering, after that amp has taken much current, it rises over 40amps.
changed new D430 and Q424, Q425 and no help.
Taking Q424 Q425 off board amp draws 0,9amps, so other channel works.
with those two off board there is 92volts ac on speaker output.
What did i do wrong, with heatgun and tweezers it looked like easy job
