RooTxBeeR Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) So I was using my DD-1 and every time I would put the + lead to the speaker terminal, the amp would protect. Couldn't figure it out, said what ever, will think about it. As my buddy looked at it, he noticed the wires, right where they come out from the top of the rca jack thingy mabob(lol). The wires where sticking out and frayed. I learned my lesson on how I store my tools from this, my question is now. Can I just go to radioshack and buy one of the connectors with a + and - lead coming out and just resolder, or do I need to get a new specific, proprietary lead made specifically for the DD-1.

OrionStang Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Looks like you (somebody) pulled the wire to unplug it instead of grasping the rca body. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RooTxBeeR Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Looks like you (somebody) pulled the wire to unplug it instead of grasping the rca body. I pull it taught, then wrap around the device. Only thing I can figure to do that. I am the only one to ever handle it since I got it, and it wasn't like that when I got it. You can get RCA connectors from radio shack. That's what I was thinking Quote On 11/20/2012 at 8:54 PM, AMI CUSTOMS said: Turned mine up today at a light, guy next to me his steering wheel started moving and he looked over at me like I was a magician lol.

RooTxBeeR Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 I stopped at a few radio shacks and neither of them anything that could help me with what I am looking for. Anyone know of anything online that I could buy to do what I am trying to do. Was thinking about heading over to fry's, but I am the opportunity to finally do the + wire from my alt to battery right now and wan't to do that instead. I am in no super big rush to fix this so I can wait for a shipment. Tony D. and Steve M., you guy's have a extra set I can buy from you guys?
