car shocks me!
I found this thread on the problem:
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=390330
It happens every time i put my hand down on the door sill to help myself out of my car; it's a static shock, like w/ a doorknob. Everyone says it's because it's winter, but I never had the problem until the day after I installed my new amp/sub. And not everything in the car uses DC current, so it is possible. Anyone else have this problem w/ their cars?

Same here, but it's just because of the cold weather...some how...hehe i dunno
If you look very closely at the finger thats about to get shocked after you move around in the seat alot you can see the bluish static shocking you. haha

Re: car shocks me! (honda_joe)
Some interesting facts on static electricity...
ESD = Electrostatic Discharge
If you can FEEL the shock, its at least 3,000 volts of ESD
If you can HEAR the snap, its at least 9,000 volts of ESD
If you can SEE the arc, its at least 20,000 volts of ESD
You notice it more in the winter because there is less humidity. Humidity creates more resistance, therefore you don't feel it as much.
And just to let you know, most electronics can be damaged by less than 30v of ESD.
