bumpnthump Posted November 17, 2009 Report Posted November 17, 2009 I just got a new amp from ebay and I was installing it last night while it was about 15 degrees. I hooked up my ground wire to it, got a tool, came back and the wire had somehow snapped off the ground terminal on the amp. My question is, is there any other way to ground an amp other than with the terminal? Or am I screwed? Thanks!

Lowroll Posted November 18, 2009 Report Posted November 18, 2009 How exactly does that work? How does it ground the amp itself? It doesnt. thats just a ground block. I know what your talking about & the answer is no, you have to ground it through the terminal that was damaged. How did this happen? it had to have a lot of pressure on it from the way the wire was routed.

I don't know exactly how it happened, there wasnt any pressure. You get what you pay for I suppose.

Boon Posted November 18, 2009 Report Posted November 18, 2009 Mmm shitty pewter terminals. You're pretty much boned, NFI how you would repair that unless you could get one from a donor amp with similar terminals. 10.x volts fo' life!

Well see, I still have the terminal that broke off, I was gonna see if I could solder it back on, but idk. There isn't any other way to connect the ground to the amp?
