Hello

I don't know much about these devices.

Before any intervention, the most important thing:

In the first photo, it says something that looks like:

"disconnect the power cord," with a broken plug there is a risk of short circuit or even electrocution during handling; the parts to be disassembled, extracted, drilled or the tools are metallic,

this risk can only increase from now on.

If it's possible to remove the broken piece from the white female socket without damaging it further, I have no recipe, we need to improvise; it's more about DIY and patience, but if we can avoid replacing this female socket, I wouldn't hesitate to spend a few hours on it, or to hand the device over to someone more skilled than me in this area.

Hello,

The solution lies in replacing the socket or the block of female RCA sockets.

If a pair of needle-nose pliers did not allow for the extraction of the broken male part, it will require the intervention of a good handyman or a technician to replace the female part.

What are the references (brand and model) of this subwoofer, in order to see if we can find information about the sockets in place.

Very difficult to catch a black cat in a dark room.
Especially when it’s not there...

Hello everyone,

With a bit of luck, you won't even have to solder* these connectors; they can be attached to the back plate of your speaker.

* soldered onto the circuit board, that is!

The visible side here is on the outside of the plate.

The inner side needs to be soldered to the wires.

Other models exist that can be directly attached to the printed circuit board, if there is one.

Happy New Year's Eve and a happy 2024 to everyone!
