my amps got thrown around from a railroad track i think... One channel of the 2 channel RCA going to my JL 1000/1 snapped. I have one channel of RCA... What are my options to do? Would I have to wire a new RCA cable?

Just buy a new one unless you're good at soldering.

You need a new plug in that case.

If you have some slack in the cable then you could strip off some of the insulation and get a screw-on RCA connector. Here's a tutorial I found in a google search: http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/diyma-tutorials/32283-tutorial-making-your-own-solderless-rcas.html

yea but i can't install them...

Why not? explorer door sills pop off in seconds and the HU faceplate is only 4 bolts.

Dont screw around and try and fix the old rca's waste of time, pay someone local $20 to do if for you if you dont feel comforatable. But definetely dont try repairing a $10 part
