[celicagt94]

I had my back seats down and i was looking for a cd in the back and when i looked up my cousin was in his car stopped in front of me. i quikly hit the breaks but my box movred back and my ground wire fell out. i turned the cd player off and a few mins later i got back to his house

the car was turned off but while recconecting the ground wire i accidently touched the power and it sparked.

the system still works but the question is

is there any long term damage? and is it possible the amp is fried at all? the system works fine and the fuses arent blown(obviosly)

The answer is yes and no... how long did the two wires touch? Like GT2GT4 said, if it works now, you should be fine. What could happen if the wires touched for a prolonged period of time is cause your harness to melt (the rubber shield that protects the wires). I doubt that the problem is this serious, but just giving you a possibility of something that could happen. Under most situations, your fuse would pop before this happens.

Unfortunately, a few months ago, my brother's passenger-side turn signal wires were never re-attached by the body shop. The wires dragged and intermitently touched, causing his harness to (literally) melt from that turn signal all the way to his fuse box. It was really ugly... and expensive to re-wire.
