Ralph	Re: There IS DC......... The outputs are not shorted. In fact, i have checked every component in the amp and nothing is shorted. Anything that read short i took out of circit and then did not. The outputs i checked in and out of circuit. They read fine as far as i can understand........no shorts, not open except when probes reversed. So it seems fine. All diodes read one way, not shorts. Caps seem fine as far as shorts. So if like you say it doesn't seem like an output, i don't know where else to look except maybe the power supply, but then i've checked that too. And I did check all the IC'S first thing, and they are fine......the voltage is there (about 13v) and swapped em out with no change. Well, thanks for trying....i'll keep messing with it to see what i may have missed. One thing tho....i can't help but think it is somehow an output because the way the cone moved and stayed as you said, and because i have heard this same sound a number of times and it was always the outputs. Thanks...
