i Have two questions, 1 , ive had my amp hooked up for about a year, and i went to tighten sum shit, when i tightened this 1 certain screw, sparks flew! It stopped working for about two secinds then came back on is this normal? what should i do? The second qustion is how should rewire my front right door speaker it cuts in and out when go over bumps and shit thanks for the help.

If sparks flew then you were probably pretty close to either blowing your amp or a fuse (probably the more likely thing that would happen). It's definently not a normal thing to happen, but it does happen. With speakers, just take off the panel and speaker and see if there is a short in the wire contacting the speaker. I've seen this happen in a lot of Hondas. Is it the stock speaker or an aftermarket one? And how old is it?

Def. check to make sure that whatever wires are around the screw you were tightening don't have a short. If you touched a screw and sparks flew that means that the whole metal panel that screw is connected to probably has power flowing through it.

hey corey,

where is your amp earthed? i cant seem to find a good spot. also for everyone, my headunit is not bolted in, so i can just slide it in and out if i need too.... would that cause noises going to my amps? cos i can hear the cd player through the speakers

there alpines and they came with the car so i dont kno how how there are

its mounted on the floor of the trunk and my head unit isnt bolted ion euther i take it out with a flathead it makes a small noise when i turn the volume up

the noises you guys are hearing is likely amp whine, meaning that your ground wires from your amp is not grounded well enough, or its too damn long. another problem causing this, is if you ran your battery wire and your RCA wires next too each other when wiring the amp. this causes "noise" over your speakers as well.
