    ground ¿

    I cant seem to get power to my amp.. the power and remote cables should be correct.. i think its a grounding issue.. ive looked around and some guys say to put it on the negative battery terminal.. but when i tryed that it just sparked to hell..

    any ideas ?

    You probable put it to the wrong one? Hmm... Make sure your Neg from your amp is going to the neg on the battery. I had mine hooked up this way with no problems.

    Also, You are probably going to have to replace the fuse on your amp if you wired it wrong.

        So ignorant people can fry their electronics.

        FYI most amps do not have built in reverse polarity protection. Check in your users manual to see if it does, but you likely fried it.

        Next time LOOK at the cables, where they go, and what giant symbol is written on the battery next to the cable. Don't ever assume any color is anything.
