problem installing amp..keeps sparking.

i don't know what's wrong. It doesn't matter if I have the ground wire in first or the power wire in first. The 2nd wire i'm connecting to the amp always creates a huge spark. what's wrong? thanks.

Connect both power and batt to the amp, THEN connect power to battery.

It's sparking because you are closing the circuit.

yhep... don't run the wire directly from the battery and connect it... connect it first and then screw it on to the battery so u don't fudge up the amp
