Blown amp?

[goofyre 10+ year member]

So I had 2 A8000T running 2 12" L5 Kickers in my car. I blew the fuses on one of the amps and when I went to replace them it sparked. So I undid and redid all the wiring and when I put fuses in the amp starts to smoke. So I think I have blown the amp. Here are some pics of the amp with the covering off.

Suggestions? If you need better pics tell me and I can get them.

Blown fets, ST Microelectronics, STP50N06 probably, judging from the silkscreen. Not sure what made it blow, but it's likely that even the ones that didn't smoke are bad too.

looks like the problem. check for discolored resistors those are the nogood ones.

single transformer, single power supply, one side negative, one side positive. If you want it to last, replace all of 6 of them, and check the transformer for shorts, check the ouput Transistors (the 4 large ones) too.

Repaired this amp, last I heard it was working great, need some references here on the forum. Please post here if you are satisfied with the job I did on your AudioBahn.

Thanks!
