A friend of mine let his friends play around with his audio equpiment and they forgot to screw the amp back into place before they went out for a drive. I guess he took a sharp corner and everything slid and the RCAs ripped out of the amp but left the center "poles" (for lack of a better word) in the connectors on the amp. I'm not in the area and couldn't open it up to see if I could push it out from the back and he's pretty much an idiot when it comes to this kind of stuff so he won't be doing that himself. Short of taking it to a shop; does anyone have a trick to get the "poles" out of the amp?
Thanks,
Chris

Nope tp the magnet. You are correct with the take the amp apart approach. Most times the rca jacks have a open end design and using a small pointed object you should be able to push the pin right back out. Chalk up another lesson learned about the proper mounting of equipment.

I have been a final applicant to the RCMP for the last year, that has now changed. After 20 years of car audio it was time for a change is all. I still enjoy car audio but it would be nice to experience something different.

Not any more, after passing all requirements, interviews and polygraph, they told me thank you but no thank you. So onwards and upwards for me. ------------- Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.
