Stupid RCA input Jacks on amp messed up!...

[Dirtrider4eva 10+ year member]

so i have an amp, RF power elite t5002.

the right side speakers started sounding strange... then out. gone.

hmm.. investigation time. wiggle wire.. back on! aha!

then happened again after a bump..

so, how can i repair the loose jacks? i opened the amp and sure enough, the wiggled a little from their housing. the connection from the inside of the jack to amp is secure, just the exterior jacket moves.

should i solder them to the connection plate their fasted to? or what? im lost guys.

Soldering iron...

well, if you haven't taken the initiative to solder it back on, then honestly, i would take it to someone and have it soldered... you might burn the traces off if you are a solder virgin. then again, if ou are decent about flowing solder on things like speaker wire, then you could tackle it yourself, just watch for other components nearby.

im good at soldering. its that im skeptical of the internal pastic jacket and melting it. so it makes me leary.

but if thats guranteed to work. ill try it out. thanks.
