Default Please Help!: Quick question on dead battery

I just had a stereo system installed this past week. Due to some poor wiring, I now have a dead batterty. Please see this thread if you want details:

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1433340

Is it still okay to use jumper cables to recharge a battery with the amp connections on my battery terminals? Is there anything I need to do differently to jump start my car? I certainly don't want to make a minor problem into a big one.

Thanks.

I changed my mind and just decided to change the battery since the one I had was fairly old.

Everything is working fine now.
