Everything was ran nicely i grounded the amp to the wheel well. i had the amp on and went to plug the bananna clips into the back of the speaker box and got the CRAP shocked out of me. I wasnt wearing any shoes and i was standing on concrete. Whats up with that? bad ground? |

The information there could serve you well. |
