Spark on battery? sound? Ek1

[Honda]

Good morning guys, I'm not sure if this is normal or not.

When I connect the positive on the battery and then when I attempt to put the negative terminal on, it sparks once.
- Grounds are secure on amp (stripped the paint too) solid connection
- Positive terminal on battery is secure
- Negative terminal on battery is secure

When I turn the key to II or start the car I can hear the sparks sound (once). There are no warning lights that I noticed or anything.

It happens if the power cable (amp) is connected AND if it is not connected.

Any ideas?

Check the positive cable for the amp, sounds like its shorting to ground somewhere along the way...

Make sure you have the amp wired correctly

Might have put power into ground and vice versa

Sounds silly but easy to do, I've done it before lol

Everything is wired correctly, here is what I done:
battery --> FUSE --> positive battery terminal
ground --> metal of the car, bolt that holds back seat in place
remote --> remote hu
rca --> rca hu

The sound is still there even if I dissconnect the power cable (amp) out of the battery.

It's hard to explain the correct sound. Its like a click sound (that sounds like the sound when the sparks occur with negative) (just one) it sounds like its a connection with the battery (maybe due to the paint they put on the battery terminal? you know the blue and red stuff).
I've only notice it when I pay attention (would explain why I didn't notice it in the past from the driver seat or maybe it wasn't already like that- no idea).

the "PAINT" they put on the battery terminals are only there to protect from corrosion on the battery terminals and premature wear.

what fuse are you using?

[Honda]

120A Fuse (it came with the amp kit)

After closely diagnosing it. I think the sound is coming from the fuse box next to the battery.

check if it's grounded properly,

I think I got paranoid. It seems like a normal thing.

I've tried it on 3 different cars and all of them had a clicking sound on the fuse box when turned to II (I think it's the relay)

Is there a special type of paint that I can buy? When I took the battery out, 90% of the paint stripped away and I think I should coat it with the same paint.

So you are sure you have the ground cable going into the ground port or whatever on the amp?

And power going to power not the ground?

100% sure!

Now I've ran into some issues when everything is hooked up

Engine off - plays like a charm
Engine on - I hear alot of low frequency sounds like it my fronts were subwoofers

Then you have the front speakers playing on low pass filter bud
