Hi there. I'm new to these forums but I have a quick question. I wired up part of my amp like 10 mins ago. But I don't have it completely done yet. I got the amp all wired and stuff. But I grounded the wire first. Then connected it to the amp. Nothing happened. Then I did the remote wire. Nothing happened. Then I connected the power wire. And it made a little spark. I don't know if I zapped something or anything. The power or remote wire aren't connected to anything though. So is it likely I zapped something?? Thanks.

Thats usually normal when hooking up a new amp or one thats been sitting for a while, the internals at first draw alot of power to energize back up. No harm should have been done.

was the power wire powered when u touched it to your amp terminal? if so that might have been why..
