Somewhere in the input stage of the amplifier there are connections for +IN and -IN. So connect the RCA inner and outer conductors to those, and to nothing else.
I am not familiar with that amplifier but from a schematic I found:

it looks like you should NOT connect the RCA jacks to the chassis, or to ground, or to anything except the +IN and -IN points in the circuit (since the circuit has a differential input and -IN is separated from ground). So if that's true then you need isolated (insulated) jacks.

R8 - 8.44vdc

R16 - .36vdc
R18 - 0 across r18 and a pop came thru the speaker
are you sure you dont have a short on Q7 or 8?
and du you have -24V at the PSU with the amp on?
desolder R10 and R12 and pull them out
check again voltages at R7 and R8 , write them here
ground both inputs while doing testing like these
@AudioSan
yeah
chasing bloody schm
doing someone other's HW , as usual
hehe
you have too many schematics
