Lol if he doesn't answer does that mean we are responsible for his death? I would feel bad. although it's very simple to disconnect your capacitor from the positive I never had a problem and did it to mine like 50 times. But mine does have a remote wire to it maybe that makes the difference on why I don't get sparks? Lol

^ You only get a spark the first time, or if the cap is left sitting disconnected for a long time. Some caps even have built in soft charge to eliminate the spark.

Its all done, no shocks ;)

let me know if you survive to type this

sorry my post was not about an automotive DC circuit... much higher output and voltages and it always involved a metal tool as I read my post that was completely unclear.

Back to car audio, as I watched James "sparky' Toombs work on his car... he is always good for one or two arcs a show.. if anyone can get himself hurt doing car audio electrical...

Glad to hear you survived.
