[QUOTE="Immortal, post: 4119695, member: 584048"] Ok solution 1 was the way to go BUT its only halfway fixed. Basically when the tip broke off, they got stuck inside the ports on the side of the amp. I pulled one of them out with my knife allowing me to complete the repair by rerouting the sub amp's power to the other and giving my left side speakers full power again. However the bottom peice is shorter and stuck farther in and despite all my efforts with various knives and moving the amp around to get better angles, ive dont nothing but chip the port :/ [I][B] Is there ANY kind of tool I can use to poke in there and pull out the last peice? It doesnt have to be a car tool, any kind of very fine knife or spear[/B][/I]...lol anything that will be thin enough and sharp enough to stick in there and pull out the tip. The good news is I plan to buy another amp to replace this anyway...but I wanted to wait till the summer for that so Id like to get both sides working in the mean time. Right now I just have a second rca plugged loosely into the broken peice giving me power to my full car again but I suspect the new rca will fall out with enough bumping from the bass or just driving in general...
