Q:Ever time I try screwing in my power cable sparks fly.My amp has no off switch.and my car is turned off.wtf?Help me out/

Very simple...remove the negative clamp from the battery in your car before you attempt to do any thing. now the circuit is broken... make sure your ground for your amp is going to something metal on your car... I imagine you are trying to hook your power cable to the positive clamp on your battery... After the amp is grounded. you may now hook-up the power cable on to the positive terminal of the battery. tighten the positive terminal with your amp power line together. Then when you are sure the amp is grounded...( ground wire to metal )...you have a ground wire from the amp also. take the positive battery post wire and reattach... then the negative battery post wire... the battery wires sould not get hot or change temp, you will know as it happens quickly... now if all the wires are done right and your cables don't heat up, it is safe. if you turn on the stereo now and it dosen't work, it just means you blew the fuse on the line to the stereo. find on the line, replace it... it is a safety thing so you don't blow the amp or burn the car down... When ever you work on a car always remove the NEGITIVE post on the battery...

Can anyone tell me what kind of plug would fit this, or where to get one? I have included a picture, sorry for the poor quality, but it is from my phone.

Q:Since the ps3 uses a universal power cable can any of those cables workthe original cable says 10A and 125v and the other non original says the same it fits however is it safe???

If you are talking about the HDMI cable that goes from your HD TV to the ps3 - then you have to find out the resolution that your tv supports and then find a HDMI cable that matches that resolution you can get these cables at major electronics stores It is best to have a HD TV with the HD cable (improves graphics)

Q:I lost my PS3 power cable but I got one from an old pc and it does work but am i better off using my old cable?Does it affect my PS3's performance?

Mmm well a cable is a cable if it is a three pin one then it is fine. With powercables you need a certain thickness of the cable for safety. PC cables are able to run 1000Watt... so a 200Watt console is no trouble.
