RCA cable pin broke off in subwoofer Help!!!

you might be able to push it out from inside, take the amp out. if not, try a small small screw and screw it into the pin to pull it out. if that doesn't work...i dunno. maybe superglue on the end of something small enough to get into the rca female and then pull it out?

Sigh I'm in the same boat mate. What coincidence! Gonna get some glue now.

Are the pins ferrous metal? Might try a magnetic screwdriver.

Use a straw.

Never had this happen to me. Don't flame me - I know its not a wheel stud or broken engine head bolt, but is it possible to carefully drill it out, or use an easy-out?

Take a tooth pick (or something similar), put super glue on the end, carefully put the glue end into the center of the pin. Let the glue set, then pull it out.

BTW, if you are connecting to the left or right line level inputs, just get a new cable and connect to the other side.

I could think of a few ways, some of which have been already listed. It’s only small thing piece of metal to retract.

Solder a small piece of wire onto the end and solder another piece of wire to the outer side of the RCA connector, now you van still enjoy sub bass.

No seriously solder a wire to the inner pin with a piece of wire then tug gentle on it until it comes out. Now if this doesn’t work remove the RCA connector and replace with new RCA connector easy.


Use a, strew indeed.

How about using a vacuum cleaner, sub now goes from blow to suck mode.

are you crazy? are you suggesting he try to suck it out? want the guy to choke to death on new years day? do NOT do that!!!

Is that little piece hollow? If so, I bet you could use a very small pointed screw. If it's got small threads on the tip, and you push it in, it might grip enough to pull the broken piece out.

If it's just laying freely inside, I assume you tried turning the thing up on it's end at just let it fall out with a few shakes? Certainly can't be that easy though.

I believe he meant to use the straw as a sleeve. I don't know if a straw is the correct OD to slip right into an RCA socket, but if it is, the straw would slide in around the pin, then pull out the straw and the pin would come with it. If it works it is an ingenious suggestion. Now, if Steve suggested the OP drink a Moosehead, then he would risk choking to death on New Years Day.

Honey what’s wrong?
I, I?
Yes I, I?
I, I, I?
Oh, you what to watch I, Robot do you.
I, I, I, [coughing] I, can’t breath.
Sorry honey we don’t have that film on DVD.

The average strew in the home is probably to narrow so a quick trip to Burger King will solve that problem. Also you’ll need a strawberry milkshake to wash down the small RCA phone pin afterwards.

i feel like a high powerd vacume hose might be able to pull it out cant hurt two try

Why not just remove the amp module?
