Perry the RCA's are already hooked up, it is when I press play, volume is down, that the amp goes into protect. When I paused/stop the signal, the amp comes out of protection.
Once, I had a strand of wire that got under the terminal block and shorted across the terminals.
Desolder one leg of the inductor to remove most of the circuit from the terminals to help eliminate that from the equation.

The amp should power up fine now shouldn't it, if there is no more bad components? I know it won't have no output, since I am going to have to order a cap (106J/100v). I have replaced 2 IRFP3415's.
It may have problems without an output cap.
Do you have any bipolar caps?
Two polarized caps can be used if connected in reverse-series (negatives together).
You could use the unused speaker terminals to connect the cap.

I am getting audio now, without it going into protection. But, it is cutting out as increase the gain, no more than an 1/8 of a turn. Something else is going on I am afraid. Using a 33uf 100v cap non polarized
The 33uf shouldn't be an issue.
Do NOT use the gain to adjust the level. Use the signal source. Using the gain is changing two variables at once.

I actually found a 10uf 100v cap to replace the bad one. Ok, so leave the gain at minimum and adjust the volume?
