okay so my amps stuck in protection mode and so i opened it up and noticed a melted piece which 1 guy identified as a t0-220 transistor so i bought 1 and right after that a guy said thats not it and if i put it in itll do more damage than it already has if i put it in...he said its probably a stp60nf06fp n-channel mosfet....where can i buy 1 of these and how do i know its the correct part...please help asap! thanks in advance
to-220 is a package type. It looks like this:

to-220 is a VERY common package for mosfets because it allows for easy attaching to a heatsink. So saying you want a to-220 is kinda like saying you want an SUV, when you mean you want a honda cr-v.
Source for your fet:
MOSFET N-CH 60V 30A TO220FP - STP60NF06FP
The 9104 uses 6 FETs in the supply. If one failed, all 6 must be replaced. kenwoodparts.com has the originals at $8.70 each. The 844-IRFIZ48GPBF at mouser should be a good substitute.
You need to check the driver transistors (Q13-Q16) as welll as the gate resistors.
The amp may have shorted outputs. You should check them before you order any parts.

Listen to Perry he knows his stuff.
Not to sound rude but if 1 power supply fet is shorted/blown you need to replace them all.
Here are a few reasons why.
1: All the fets need the same lot and date code If you only replace one of them you risk the chance of them not sharing the load evenly and the amp will breakdown again.
2: You only replace 1 of them and the amp goes out again you will be upset and have to order the parts all over again and wait for them to arrive.
3: If you only replace 1 of them and it shorts again this time it could take out other components in the amp making it unrepairable or not worth the time or money to fix it again.
Like perry said you need to check all of the power supply fets if 1 says its shorted others could possibly be leaking between the legs .
Also you ned to check the output transistors to see if any are shorted/leaking . If you have bad outputs and put new power supply fets in the amp it will blow all of the new fets again.
Also check the drivers for the power supply fets and the gate resistors in the amp.
Perry knows his stuff and is very smart when it come to amp repairs listen to him and your amp will be up and running in no time

k so 6 of these correct perry? Mouser Electronics - Electronic Component Distributor
and i read the transistor testing thing but dont understand a bit of it and dont have a meter to test ohms...sorry to be a pain but im working with what i have...if i take a picture of the whole mobo and upload it could you guys show me the 6 transistors that are in need of replacing?

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
can someone please identify the 6 that need replaced, im so confused right now lol sorry to be such a burdon, but hey we were all noobs at once

I just read the previous email. If you don't have a meter that will read ohms, it's going to be either very difficult to very expensive to get the amp repaired. Can you borrow a meter?
The parts you listed were capacitors. The 844-IRFIZ48GPBF would be the sub if you didn't want to order the OEM parts.

okay cool i got it q17-q22 thats a lot easier xD..and the output transisters dont seem to have any marks or they arent browned or anything and what kind of meter do i need that will read ohms.
and ok so these are the correct parts? Mouser Electronics - Electronic Component Distributor
