RCA posts broke off in RCA port!!!! Help?

[Captain_Ahab 5,000+ posts]

My components were cutting in and out today so I lowered my seats down to check my connections.. My RCA cables were not snug into the port like they should be. I took them out and noticed the posts inside the cables had broken off into the RCA connection port on the amp! I cannot figure out a way to get the posts out. The RCAs won't connect right and my music just cuts in and out..

Any ideas?

Take the cover off the bottom and push them out from the back with something small enough to fit in the hole.

Yeah that is probably the best way. This happened to me too...I ended up just changing around the wiring to get around that port. If you have a thin enough of a knife you can try to stick the point into that slot and pull it out if its not to deep...be careful not to warp the plastic around it. Im getting a new amp so I dont worry about the broken rca anymore but it sounds like opening it up and pushing it out is the best idea

Opened it up and the backside of the port is completely closed...****...

Any ideas where I could buy a magnet strong enough to possibly get it out??
