So, after hours of thinking how the heck can I bridge the fibre optics lines in the amp without having to purchase a new one or send it off somewhere so they'll bridge it their way, I found a way to do it. And it only cost me about 30min of my time and $5, if you have the right tools of course.
1. Remove the amp from under the driver seat. Just pull the seat forward as far as it will go and unplug the amp, of course remove the torx screws holding it in.
2. Remove the screws on the side holding the top cover on.
3. Locate the two black fibre optics wires coming from the connector on the housing. They run to the center standing circuit board in the middle of the amp. Twist the locks that are holding the board on and carefully remove the middle board.
4. There are two mirrored finish plates protecting the board. Remove the upper half (the side that is facing the the connectors before removal) you will have to bend the tabs back that are holding it and remove the one side.
5. Inside you'll see the connecting unit where the fibre optics are being held. They are clipped by a black clip on each wire. With needle nose pliers, carefully grab each one and give it a twist to break only the clip. When broken, remove the fibre optic wires.
6. Go to the hardware store and purchase a small box on NM wire clips 1/2" (those are the kind that hold houseing wire to the wall. Kinda u-shaped and have two nails on the ends that can come out)
7. With a #30 drill bit (.128) remove the nails in wither end and drill out the holes with the drill bit to make them a snug fit for the fibre optics wires.
8. With a pair of dikes, cut the clip as close the middle as possible.
9. Line up the holes by inserting the #30 drill bit, insert the cut halves together so the flat part of the clips are facing each other.
10. With a soldering tool, melt the halves together only around the part you cut and the sides. You'll see a gap between the top portion, don't melt that as it will melt it too much and you'll have to start over.
11. After about a minute, remove the drill bit. Your pieces should be melted together. Insert the Fibre optic lines in opposing ends of the clip so they are coming together. It's a little tight fit which is good, this means it will not wiggle loose.
12. Replace the middle circuit board you removed and replace the cover. You can just stick the fibre optic wires in the uiit freely.
13. Plug the amp in and test.
This worked perfectly for me, bridging the connections between the fibre optics and allowing my center console to become alive again. I'll try and get some pictures up of what I did. But I think this explains pretty well.
