I have a crescendo 2000 watt and the tip of my rca's broke off in my amp. Any ideas on how I can get that piece out? I tried super gluing the end of the rca's and it didn't work. Someone help me out

Do a search, there are many of these questions on here so there should be a lot if suggestions already.

I'd pull the bottom cover and try to push out the peice from the inside edge of the RCA connector.

Found this for ya:

4 options.

1) Pop the cover off & see if the RCA jack has an open back (most do) & push it back out. May need some stiff wire (like a pipe cleaner) or a small jewlers screwdriver.

2) Use a small juice box straw & suck on it while trying to pull it out using that suction.

3) First I will say I prefer the first 2 & would use this as a last resort. Take a Q'Tip & cut the tip off one end or the back end of one of those wood cotton swabs. Then use a small amt of Super Glue on that end to try & glue it to the RCA plug tip. Then try to pull it out.

4) A strong small rare earth magnet might work (Radio Shack still sells them they are like 1/8" in dia) as it doesn't look like it is in too deep.
I would not risk using a drill as you may slip & remove the gold plating.
