Hey Joey,

It sounds like the amp is going into a protection mode. When the subwoofer it was driving died, it may have taken part of the amp with it. It may have damaged the output stage.

Unfortunately these types of things are very hard to debug just on the forum with only text. The good news is if the amp is alive enough to power up, figure something is funny, and go into protection mode it can probably be repaired. But you might want to take it to a local repair shop.

There are no output transistors Nigel, they are MOSFETs.

These amplifiers are extremely complex and unless you have a lot of experience with class D amplifiers I suggest you send it to someone who knows these amplifiers. This amplifier employs the single cycle technology which is one of the most complex circuits I have worked on.

The power supply is also complex and they use a separate switcher for the front end whose frequency is clocked to the main PWM chip
