i have a jl audio 300/2 slash series amp. when i went to take the power and ground connections out to remove the amp i used a metric allen wrench and not a standard and i stripped the screws in the amp. how do i undo these screws? and even if i get them out where would i go about getting some more screws? this amp has done wonders for me and i dont wanna get rid of it becuase the srews are stuck. please help me out with this! thanks

Those are metric screws. 2.5 MM They will not come out of the amp without either completely disassembling the amp, or drilling the black plastic insulators that are directly over the top of the screws. I do not remember what size drillbit you need, but it is only slightly larger than the hole is now. You can replace then with phillips screws available at any hardware store. You will need to drill the holes large enough for the new screws. If you can not get the screws to back out at all, you will have to disassemble the amp so you can get some heat on the connector to get the screw to break loose. If you need instructions on disassembly let me know.

If you have to disassemble the amp to get the screw out, a little heat, via a small torch will make the screw easier to get out of the terminal.
