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)

Sounds like it's time to get a couple of brackets to mount the box. Think of the damage it would do if you got into an accident.

Did you do any damage to the amp? Probably not... consider youself lucky and learn form the experience. The power cables are always on even if the car is off but the amp itself was off and that probably saved the amp.

Like GT2GT4 said get some kind of connectors to keep the wire seperate.
