Is this thing gonna break..!?

some of them have a litte dot ...that's where you should apply the pressure....if not go to the hardware store buy a fine saw... that will do..........

I run mine under hot water first, use a nail file to score it, then a pencap to snap it off. I hold the amp in a washcloth in case it shatters. Am I overly paranoid? Yes, but it's not like the shit grows on trees if you break one, and I'm not keen on a piece of unsterile glass falling into my amp.

Over the course of time you'll hit veins, get infected, and have other things happen that you won't have too much control over. You might as well be overcautious and minimize the things you do have control over.

Very well put. Be ready for it all.

Scoring is optional. But I have noticed some amps are more delicate than others and have had them completely disintegrate so I score those. Creatively, Ive even used a folded piece of 100 grit sandpaper. Pic up a file at the hardware store. When they break neat and clean its like a nice top foam on a draft

With an amp opener you will never have a problem.

That's not fucking true......

I don't score any amps, I just snap 'em off easy.

If you're not strong enough to snap an amp I seriously question if you should be doing AAS at all.

Div is right on here bros... I used to think the same way, until one day I was like fuck this and just popped the amp. The key is, don't just snap it at a 90 degree angle. As you snap it, go for a 45 degree angle while pulling upward and to the right. Its the easiest thing in the world.
