Improper ground for amplifier?

My kicker zx750.1 stopped pumping my subs today so I went to the trunk to find the problem. The problem was that the ground be not secure and it was sparking. My setup is Bat to Capacitor..

I'm sure the amp went to protection mode but i be wondering if there was still a fortune that the amp or subs are damaged. I have a 5 year protection plan on the amp so idc.

You probably didn't do any disfavour to your system , but as a rule, I always ground all my equipment to 1 commod ground. That will diminish the likelihood of you getting feedback from your system,which is called a ground loop. Also run all power lines down 1 side of the coup¨¦ and rca's down the other side, but not on the same side as the ground. Your ground wire wasn't protected. Make sure you sand around your mounting bolt, make the connection as tight as you can go and get it, and you shouldn't have any problems.
