[QUOTE="tommydh, post: 8181093, member: 640628"] Is it one good spark after disonnecting and then reconnecting? If it is you need to disconnect Batt ground pull fuses and this is the important one after all power is disconnected ground the pos terminal to discarge the internal capacitors inside the amp. If its a constant sparking you have bigger issues but it sounds like a stored charge in amps. I have had that before and wandered W.T.F. but its just what capacitors do. You can use a little 14 ga jumper to discharge tem I use a set of test leads with alligator clips. [/QUOTE]
