Ground cord sparking?

I've always had a problem with SOMETHING in my system, and I think I found it?

I've had 3 amps, and after about 3 or 4 days, each amp would slowly start to loose power and the subs wouldn't hit as hard.

The ground that it's on right now feels like it's not really made of metal, or all metal... it feels like its a composite type of material, on an audi a6

Today I was listening to my system and it cut out and made a weird noise, I looked back and the ground terminal was sparking.

Do you think that my ground is bad? Should I try grounding it somewhere else and will the power come back 100% in my amp, or is it ruined?
