Anyone know what causes my speaker outlets on my amp to spark when they are connected to the speakers and even melts some of the wire strands?

WTF, did you connect wires when the amp was on or something?

I think you already know the answer. If the amp is on and you disconnect the speaker wires, it'll spark cause it's live! It's also not good for the amp.

Double check your subs....Make sure they are wired correctly. What gauge is the speaker wire??

What amp? what subs? Sounds like your amp is pushing to much power to fused coils.

i have a memphis 1000d mclass and i first connected it to a planet audio 10" 500 watt sub then i tried a memphis 12" 600 watt sub and when i connect them to the speaker the speaker moves in and out constantly like jumping on a trampoline and makes the noise like a flat tire on a car..????

My guess is the subs are out of phase...check your wiring, to subs and amp
