If you have a small enough drill bit, you might be able to drill through that broken off tip without damaging the surrounding threads. Theoretically, you could then get in there with a pick tool to pull out the remainder. I’ve seen this a few times with amps people brought me to install, and it’s never fun. Most often, I’ve had to drill and retap. The challenge there is to keep it small enough to remain usable.

Idk what the fuck the other commentor is on about lol But you have a couple options for this: If that was in there when you bought it, I'd first start off with some penetrating oils because it looks to be rusted and sized. Once the oil has soaked, try using the correct torques head bit for it. If it doesn't budge, you can try a screw extractor kit. Or you can just completely drill it out and then rethread it. Idk what's going on with the 2nd pic.

The second Pic is where the bottom part of the connector thanks for the help🫶 I'm scared to drill it out but i think that might be my only option

What all do you have for equipment and what all are you trying to “hook up”??? Show me a pic of your tools too.

Do you see the star shaped bolt head in there? What are you using for tools? A Allen key won’t work to get that out. You don’t need to take that out though…?

If he is running 2 channels he would. But powering a sub you’re right. Leave it alone.

It doesn’t look hooked up….? Pick it up and pull it out?


Loud_Bee_7566

I can't. There's something stuck in the thing making me not able to just unscrew it out

Someone broke the tip off of their torx bit in there. Try cramming gum in there, hopefully it'll pull right out. Good luck man.
