RCA input on amp ripped out.. [after I got all the other problems solved]

[xmakeafistx 10+ year member]

So I found out how to get both door speakers working perfectly fine after installing an amp into them.

Turned out I had the lowpass filter on.. Anyway. After that I had a problem with the RCA's not working on the left input. I have two runs of RCA's so I decided to test with the other one, nothing went wrong everything worked beautifully. so since I was about to go out to buy some new RCA, I just plugged the working run back to my sub amp and the other bad run back to my door speaker amp.

I try pulling out the RCA out of the left input and this is what happened..

It all ripped out, when I tried putting it back in [it won't go in 100 percent, but about 3/4ths of the way] both sides work, but the left side makes a very noticeable screeching sound whenever I rev my engine. What could be going on? how can I fix this?

Just bought this amp don't want it to go to the **** already. Will take more pics if needed.

take the cover of the amp off and see if you can solder if back in????

can't solder back in, its totally a clip. no matter how hard I try to push it back in it won't go all the way, it almost looks like theres a plastic block in the way, like the rca is supposed to go under it but that isn't possible without ripping out the whole RCA thing itself.. & thats not possible.

call DB-R or someone else who fixes amps. they can tell you if it can be fixed or not probably.

you might have to replace the whole rca's input

I don't know, i'm pretty pissed off though its like one thing after another. Who would have figured this would happen? eh.

Honestly sounds like bad luck. you could always get an rca like this

1/4" Stereo Plug To 2 RCA Female Adapter Cable 6"

cut the other end off and solder the wires to where the rca would be soldered onto the board, they have to be soldered inside somewhere.

You might be able to use these......

They're only $2.25 for the pair.

What kind of amp is that? Dude that ***** for you.

 

[xmakeafistx 10+ year member]

Yeah its soldered in the bottom, might be worth it but it looks hard to do. & those RCA's would be hard to fit in the location, it's a pioneer 5400T or something like that. I'm really mad either way, thanks for all the help if someone could guide me through the soldering process or lead me to somebody who could do it cheap, that would seriously be awesome.

Bring it to Indiana and i will solder it for free for you. Not to hard to do.

Wish I lived close, would be there in a snap. I don't know, like I'm afraid to rip anything off and add things otherwise.
