Default !Ouch! Key in & turn.... Hit the Start.... POP!

Well I get ready to get some food...

Get in my car, Put the key in, turn it so
All lights go on, air blasting, Valentine 1 turns on, Music starts playing and sub kicking.

I clutch in and reach for the start button. As soon as I hit it, I hear a not so loud POP!! Everything shuts off as I hear a pop from under the hood. I proceed to pulling the key out and light is dim. I put the key back in, turn the key and it hardly powers the Check Engine, Oil, Key, idiot lights that are some what flickering. No techometer lights, stereo doesnt power on. I hear fuel pump SLOWLY bringing the pressure up to level and Valentine 1 Radar stays off.

Sounds like a dead battery eh?

Sub/Amp Fuse is fine.

Dead battery, or loose batt terminal is where I'd start.

It's a common battery, I'm sure they would stock it.

Yep... sounds like a dead battery to me. From your title, I thought this was going to be a much more expensive thread.

yea sounded like your battery blew up.. which is not common but does happen.. its really bad when they do

besides. should never have all those systems on when starting.. its more stress on the battery

since u have a sound system.. that should always be off during start up..

Clean that up well, and carefully! Battery acid is HIGHLY corrosive.
