[QUOTE="dB-r, post: 2879345, member: 574699"] Maybe more to it than some soldering. If the amp is not in protect you likely don't have a blown channel. You may get lucky and just broke the RCA connector loose from the PCB on the channels that the RCAs were plugged into when the car went flying. But, if somehow your RCA cable touched a + wire on something else you likely blew out an OP-AMP or two and those can be hard to track down. Not something I would recommend without some good test equipment and some knowledge of how the amp works on the inside. Open it up, look around the RCA connectors on the opposite side of the PCB for cracks in the solder, and inspect the RCA connector itself and see if it looks like something broke on it. Better yet, if you can solder you likely can use a DVM, put it on continuity check / diode test and check for connectivity from each part of the RCA connector to the solder connection on the main PCB.
