Disconnect pewer wire from the battery, remove ring terminal from amp and attach to cable. Before you reconnect power you need to disconnect ground on the amplifier. Check your fuse on power cable as it may have blown. Now you can reconnect power cable on both ends. Reconnect ground cable and your done.

Sorry, if you are using crimp connectors, make sure to use a new one.

will i not get a shock if i touch the power + cable on battery im not gonan be home for 2 hrs is it ok to do it then or iwll i be draiging my batterly by leaving the wire the way it is?

so what i do is take wrench unscrew power + from battery and remove that wire completely from battery (i dont think i can discconectwire from fuse exactly its a weird fuse holder easier to remove from battery) and then go buy a new ring terminal also cut off the end near amp of wire to make a good new crimp?

You will not get shocked by just touching the + on your battery, but you should always disconnect the ground wire on the battery first whenever doing electrical work. The repair is a fairly simple job, so you should not have any problems. As far as it draining your battery the way it is now, it will blow your fuse before that happens if wire is shorting to chassis.

ok i disconnected everythign. even the rcas and remote turn on. to install the amp again do i disconnect battery ground then connect amp ground then connect amp power then power wire to battery and then connect the battery ground again ?

my fuse was ok on both the POWEr wire and in the amps. i dunno why this thing came loose
