I replaced all fets(3205's) in this amp replaced the gate resistors (100 ohm)
replaced the drivers (B647 and D667) and a couple 10k resistors next to the gate resistors.

When powering it up through a 1ohm 10 watt current limiting resistor it still draws 15 amps of current and the fets get red hot with 1 to 2 sec's

I pulled the rca jack board and the other driver board in it still draws current and fets get red hot.

Wondering where i go from here?

Perry do you know of a good part number for theese rectifiers?

I spoke with Vhris from db-r and he said that the one i have are universal type and i could use 200volt 20 amp instead of 300v 30 amp.

He said he doubts it would ever exceed 40 amps of output at 1 ohm. That would be 40 vac/40aac=1600 watts and thats if its a 2 ohm amp it would never exceed 20 amps total.

So wondering if you know of a good rectifier for this amp?

Any help would greatly be appericated
 
Id really like to thank CARAMPGURU for sending me the rectifiers I appericate it alot!!

Perry,

I powerd this amp up and it idles around 5 to 6 amps but it produces clean audio and seems to be working like it should.

Is there still a problem with this amp since its idling around 5 to 6 amps of current??
