how common is this problem? (RCA inputs)


Recommended Posts

just stretch out the prongs a little. not a ton but just enough. you can get a barrel connector and try wrapping a layer of tape around the connector and then seating the rca to see if that will stretch it out a little

Have you ever had your woofers blown?

Yaah, i will probably end up needing to do this.

Thankfully i dont plan on selling the amp anytime soon, so putting it back in when i pull the rca should be no big deal.

I honestly might ditch the Knu RCA's though...

Can you recommend a decent brand to replace them with?

I have these RCAs too and they are really tight. I guess im just a little more carful than you when pulling them off of the amp. lol... jk

But yeah most/all Knu RCAs are tight light that, as far as i have seen.

This always happened to me with cheapo rca's

You really think the KNU rca's would be considered cheap? they seem like good quality, just a little tight.

I am always pretty careful, thats why i was surprised.

best way of pulling tight rca's is to twisted them out like unscrewing something

you can keep the rca's just get some needle nose pliers and open them up a lil

I will have to do that, they always seemed tight but i never thought it would be an issue.
