I have a Rockford Fosgate t20001bd to repair.
There is NO audio to output, but if I raise much gain, distorted sound comes out.
The amplifier turns on normally and regularly produces all voltages (+ HV, -HV, +/- 15V, +/- 6V)
ALL OUTPUT DEVICES ARE NEW, so they are perfect ..
Toggle A & B are present and functioning properly.
The triangular carrier signal is present and perfect ON PIN 5 of U301 and U302.
I see a square signal on pin 1 and pin 6 of U301 and pin2 of U302 that varies as a function of the audio signal that I am using to the input of the amplifier (100HZ sinewave).
The strange thing is that I can not see any signal on pin 7 of U301 and U302.
For this reason, there is no oscillation on 2 uc3706 for fet driving.
politely, what would you do in this situation?

Post the voltage readings of the pins on U301 and U302.
Is there any substantial DC on the output pins 1 and 7?
what is my reference point? GND?
Perfect, I'll do it as soon as I get home.Yes use the amps main ground terminal.
I'm sorry for the delay.
I checked if there DC on pins 1 and 7 of U301 and U302.
With a multimeter in voltmeter function, with the black probe connected to the main ground I measured:
U301: PIN1: DC voltage that varies between 1.5v at 4v
PIN7: fixed voltage -4.36v
U302: PIN1: DC voltage which oscillates between -1.8v to -4V
PIN7: DC voltage that varies between 5.2V and 5.5V
I do not have much experience with this type of amplifiers, for this reason, you have any idea? or some other kind of test?
