Default starting problems?

i put some subs in my car (w/o a capacitor) and it ended up running the battery low....so i charged it up and had to jump it a few times...
happened again, except after charging it and trying to jump it, it wont even crank. it clicks so im pretty sure its getting spark, terminals are clean, battery is good, and i checked the fuses.
theres a loud clicking sound when i attemp to start ot....could it be my starter? thanks for the help.

that sounds like a bad battery. how many volts do you read with the car off?

did you take the subs out?

that clicking sound is probably the sound of not enough juice in the battery to power the starter. every motorcycle i've ever owned clicks before there's enough juice to actually turn the motor and start the engine.

you may have done serious damage to your battery. can you take it to an autozone/advanced and hook it up to their tester?
