[QUOTE="CrossoverOre, post: 8248312, member: 642052"] the spark was probably the caps inside the amp discharging because of the cap. I would rewire the cap so the main power from the battery goes to the cap and then to the amp. I would double check all connections between the amp and cap just to make sure that everything is connected to the proper terminals i.e. pos to pos neg to neg. Next disconnect the amp from the equation and try to charge the cap again. If you have a dmm this will help a lot because you will be able to see when you reach a sufficient charge to remove the resistor and install the fuse. If you can successfully charge the cap without the amp connected then you may have an issue with your amp of the installation. Also how exactly are you determining that you have no power at the amp or cap? [/QUOTE]
