Take a bobby pin and bend it straight out and take a ligther and heat the bobby pin till its red on the tip then stick it inside the aux plug in and hold it still there for a few minutes and then pull out. And you can just use anything with a point and that is not plastic

It's just the metal piece in there.. Would this still work?

if you heat the bobby pin it will become malleable aka flexible so it will be able to slide into the hole between the aux thing and the wall of the input hole. After a couple minutes it will cool down and get strong again. Once that happens, pull the bobby pin out slowly and hopefully it will pull the aux pin out.

Well if its just the metal I doubt it will then. If I was you I find some kind of magnet then. Or you could put glue on the end of the bobby pin but you have to be super carefully doing that.

Thank y'all for your suggestions.. I hope one of em works, can't wait to get off to try em out. I just hope I'm not taking the thing apart.

Haven't had a chance to try any of these yet.. Just bought a 1200 watt power acustik for the time being . Not sure which amp would be better.

Open the amp and use needle nose or tweezers to pull the piece out. The Kicker is the better choice.
