50w Single-Ended BAF2015 Schade Enabled

Looks correct to me. The speaker outputs from the CCS PCB and Gain PCB will obviously need to be tied together off board before going to +SPKR.

The +28V output from the CCS board will connect to "D" or pin 3 on this boards MOSFET. I caught a little hint from ZM's build. Instead of putting a solderable mounting hole on the PCB. I connect directly with a crimp on ring connector directly on the MOSFET.

Gave myself a brain ache here trying to keep up to ZM and Father Pass. That aside, here's a pic of what my final input board may look like with optional buffer.

Big thanks to Dan...My KiCad/PCB fabbing addiction is in full force. I went the 317/337 route as well, but put a 'mini' PS before it.

Getting back to my Schade after many distractions.

My CCS seems to be working and producing tons of heat. But I'm perplexed by my second mosfet passing 3.3 amp and being stone cold?

Rail = power supply, relative to ground

Output node = speaker out node at the resistor string between the two mosfets, relative to ground. It should be in the neighbourhood of 30v.

If you are measuring 3.3A through the first mosfet, it must be going somewhere.
 
Rail voltage is 59.6 vdc. Where it's supposed to be 30v it's 1.7V.

For fun I connected a 4 ohm 500W resistor to the CCS 28 volt output alone to ground and it drew the same current (3.3A) and the current was adjustable via the pot.

The heatsink I have the mosfets mounted on is standalone and not connected to the ground of the power supply. Could that be it?

And no current flows at all until I apply about 6-7v bias to the second mosfet.
