Amp question

[offroadram01]

Posted this at DTW and had a few replies - not much though. I have a Kenwood amp - been used for a few years but works great. Anyways traded in the Dakota and they took out the system for me. Bad thing was that the Power supply for the amp screw was corroded in place so they cut off the cord. Now I can't get the screw off - tried slotting in new head but it keeps rounding off so I cannot attach new power cable. I think I have two options left:

1. soder new cable to terminal and whats left of the screw

or

2. Try drilling out old screw and put slightly larger one in

now I think option one would be easier but would it work okay - I don't see a reason why it would not? Any input would be appreciated, and thanks

yes you could do either one one of the things you talked about and sodering they new to the old would be easier but why not just do it right the first time and save you time other times, have you tried a easyout

Hey thanks triplet - easy out slipped my mind for some reason. Course don't have one down here, but I now have an excuse to buy some more tools - lol.

yeah they work good, and I even saw one today in
Wal-Mart

Success - woo hoo



Picked a set of easy outs up at Wally world - not a bad set for only eight bucks (5 different sizes). A little drilling, tappin, and wrenchin and the amp is ready to rock and roll.

glad to hear the install went well, better to do it rights and be safe and happier with the install

well went to install everything, and just my luck the amp is ill. It goes to thermal overload immediately - so I just bought a new amp for now. Will troubleshoot my old amp and see if its repairable. System sounds pretty good, but need to get speakers to replace the stock door ones.
