hey guys my battery is completely dead, so i went out and bought a new one... got the old battery out that was easy, problem putting the new battery in.... i couldn't remember which goes on first pos or neg regardless of how i tryed to put it on it sparked like crazy, so in short i couldn't get the terminals on... i know that if you put the terminals on in the right order it should be a cinch, but here's the dilema, could this sparking be a result of the fact that i have a capacitor in my trunk... if i'm not mistaken the capacitor stores power right, could this be the cause of the sparking? just wondering because my capacitor is tucked in where my spare tire used to be and my subs are bolted on, but if this is the cause then i guess i will have to go through the effort of unhooking everything. any advice or answers are much appreciated... i bought the battery from crappy tire it fits perfectly just too dangerous to even attempt to attach the terminals

you'll have sparking no matter which one you put on first. just make sure everything is turned off.

yeah i don't have a capacitor in my car and it sparks anyway... you just have to over come your fear of sparks and connect the bitch...
