nah tried it mate, doesn't work.Originally Posted by AmmoJammo
I've had this happen? Can you grab it with long nose pliers from the outside? Otherwise maybe thread a little screw into it and pull it out.
drop of really good super glue on a wooden skewer. just make sure ya dont glue the piece in there haha
Solder a line of solder onto the edge of the broken piece, let it dry then pull it out.

looks like my only option in the glue one, its kind of like broken in half in there and cant get a hold of it with anything.
and i dont have a solder
:)
weird how it broke, did u break it on a angle or something?
yup! I think I might actually be gay

just noticed on my way home my subs weren't working at all, so when i got home i took the amp out and as i pulled the RCA cords out from the amp, it just snapped inside.
are all your amps and subs bolted down??
tutut
yup was bolted down, never have any movement, i have a boot install.

yeah you cant get in behind the RCA port, was an Alpine amp with fusion RCA leads from my old audio setup.
fusion gear has proven to be super crap once again.
Ur sub's should have still worked with 1 unplugged & snapped RCA, Unless you are only running 1 sub on 1 channel not bridged?
If you are using say like a 2ch amp with 1 sub each channel 1 sub sould have been still working, Or even 1 sub bridged would have still been half working...
Was just thinking because you said 'just noticed on my way home my subs weren't working at all', Maby you're other good non broken RCA isent pluggeed in to the headunit?
so yeh should have still half worked, You're sub's shouldent both go out with 1 brken RCA...
Good Luck!
Unless he's using the sub-out pre-out from his headunit into a mono-block amp

#### knows the subs weren't working, i got jaycar audio, to put in a new rca thingy and works perfect.
I highly doubt Jaycar would replace an RCA socket for you... Yeah, they're normally called sockets...
tutut
oh im sorry, correct me if im wrong but i took "my" amp into jaycar and they fixed it.
whats the problem?
Jaycar don't repair stuff.
tutut
ah yeah your right... my amp fixed it self over night
how silly of me to think i took into jaycar to get fixed.
have they been unable to fix something of yours in the past or something? or made it worse lol?
They do if you take a faulty product back to them. I've had a few friends take their faulty Jaycar amps back and had them repaired, rather than changed over. Obviously, they have a technician somewhere, it's not the goobers at the counter doing it.
Its a bit different to fixing an Alpine amp someone brings in though
I'd assume they just sent it out to get fixed.
Either that, or some random who works in the store fixed it... lol
How much was the repair?
tutut
how is it different? i took it in and he fixed it over night and cost me 42$
Jaycar sell Jaycar amps? Jaycar don't sell Alpine amps?
Yeah, I forgot it was an Alpine amp... Them fixing a product that they don't sell is not a normal thing that happens at Jaycar stores.
