Obviously you damaged more than just the fuses when you did the deed. Check out your power supply and amplifier output stages for damage(s).

There could be any number of things wrong with your amp. Normally there are diodes that protect against this sort if thing however applying reverse polarity on capacitors, regulators and FETs can cause untold damage. You will need to trouble shoot the amp by measuring voltages around the power supply.

HI i've bought a spare battery box for my K-lite EQ10DB and it only charges one battery not both.

When wiring electrics you work it as a loop. So positive to negative EVERY time. Often Positive is Red and Negative is Black.
You wiring loop (circuit) should have the main positive cable from the scooter itself on the Positive terminal on the first battery. It should then have a "bridge" wire from the Negative on the first battery across to the Positive on the second battery. Then the other main Negative wire from the scooter itself to the second battery's Negative
Re-check you wiring and all the cables you can see for damage. Normally if you've wire it wrong you'll get sparks and a burnt plastic smell. Check you've put all the connector blocks in the correct way around. They are usually shaped so they will only go in one way around.

What is my new battery terminal sparking when I try to connect the last cable?

This sounds like it is trying to "Short Out". Turn off all the power to the chair and re-check your battery connections.
A "Short" is where the electricity is trying to flow the Wrong way around the circuit. This will badly Damage you batteries if you keep trying to connect them.
When connecting batteries together you ALWAYS connect a Positive (+) to a Negative (-). NEVER Positive to Positive or Negative to Negative.
Start at the Negative wire, connect it to the Negative terminal on the first battery, (Battery One). Then on Battery One connect the Positive terminal to the Negative terminal on Battery Two. You now connect the chair's Positive cable to the Positive terminal on Battery Two.
You should get NO sparks. Carefully turn on the chair's power. The batteries should NOT spark and should NOT get hot quickly.
**CAUTION** If it does spark or get hot quickly after you have done this TURN EVERYTHING OFF and disconnect the negative cable. This means there is a problem somewhere else in the chairs electrics.

Why my Honda horn keep beeping when connecting negative battery terminal

DOUBLE CHECK that you have connected the battery the right way and haven't put the positive on the negative. This is sometimes a warning that you have the terminals the wrong way round. If the battery is fitted correctly check the fuses.

CHECK THE MARKINGS ON THE BATTERY + & - ARE GOING TO THE CORRECT TERMINALS

I have a TDK NX-4CD Slimeline 2.1 CH.CD/MP3 Hi Fi System but cannot get any sound from speakers although everything powers up and speakers seem to be OK

System needs to be rated for less than half the OHMs the speakers are rated at IE: 4 OHMs vs 8-16 OHMs.
So, ya can't use 2-4 OHM speakers with a 4 OHM capable HI-FI or the system transistors will burn out and turn to the whole thing to junk.
Yes, the speakers are louder cause, the speakers are drawing more power than the HI-FI is capable of or built for. See "OHM's Law"

Also, the Speakers and HI-FI are wired for -/+
OFF or ON; DO NOT CROSS THE -/+ OUTPUTS!
So, IF Negative speaker wire
goes to Negative output on the HI-FI
...Where does the Positive wire go?

I own a MY99 Subaru Impreza WRX Limited edition I have an immobiliser installed( auto watch) I need to jump start the car how do I do that!

u need another vehicle there and a set of jump leads,
connect the negative up from the battery of one car to the negative of the other car and do the same with the positive.
the positive is the one with the cross of the red wires, be very careful not to put them on the wrong way round, then simply start the other car up and leave it for around 5 minuates then try 2 start your vehicle dont worry if you get a little spark when connecting the jump leads its perficaly normal.
hope this advice helps.
