kickass audio Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Valu, Home Depot, lowes, etc will have them. All you need to do is find out what size the screw is and what thread size it is. If you have a tap and die kit you can use a feeler gauge to see what size thread it is on the other screw you have in the amp. You can also take one of the dies and put the screw in one to see if it fits. It should fit in easily without any force. Or if you dont have a tap and die kit you can just take the screw with you to the store and find one that has the same thread and size. The threads of the new screw should ALL sit inside the one from the amp flush, they should not have a single thread overlapping or you will strip the amps terminal or the screw itself. Also be advised if the screw came to a point when it is inserted in the amp the new one you buy wont have that. What you would need to do if the flat end of the screw isnt enough to grab the wire would be to fold over the speaker wire and solder it so it has a solid grab on the speaker wire.

kickass audio Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Heres another thing maybe you can do. Do you have a magnet wand? If the screw is magnetic you can put the wand near the area you lost the screw and hope it grabs onto the end of it.

kickass audio Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Thats good, glad you found one. Dont feel bad, i didnt lose the ones on my old amp but i stripped the hell out of the heads of the screw since they were cheap aluminium and i love to crank screws down and had to buy new ones. Just dont do it like my co-workers amp is, the guy who did the install in his truck put a long drywall screw through the terminal that stripped out to hold his remote wire in place. It kept shorting out and he didnt know why he kept popping fuses and the dumbass put a 180 amp fuse on 4ga wire!!
