Now, can i get to the crossover to re-solder it without having to tear everything apart.....or can I get my fat fingers in there to pull it off? I'm thinking no, I can't.
Honest mistake. I'm certainly not immune to making them myself and I'm always grateful to have you guys to bounce ideas off of.
If it were me, I'd just snip it at it's current junction and solder in a short jumper over to the other side of the cap. Speaker wire or whatever you used for the negative side of the filter circuit. The soldering iron would take longer to heat up than the actual fix.
I'm not sure how much of a PITA the grill really is, but it looks to me like a 5 minute fix, start to finish. That's assuming you're not wringing a manual screwdriver. If that's the case, add 20-30 seconds per screw
Ultimately, a simple solution and quick resolution to the whole "why does the amp cut out" question. Honestly, I enjoyed the mental puzzle on my end. Thanks for the opportunity to make a contribution Bruce.
