Default Jeep wont start but has power to auxilary

So yesterday I unhooked the positive terminal to my 07 Jk to hook up a new subwoofer amp. After I was finished I went to hook up the positive terminal and my fuse box was clicking and my jeep was dead. Now I have no power at all in the cab, but my kc lights and PIAA lights on the bumper work fine and they are wired straight to the battery, please help. The only thing I unhooked was the positive terminal, I did not mess with anything else. Also I have a 2 month ok optima blue top so I don't think the battery is the problem.

Try to in hook it again and try it might just be a brain fart in the system.

I'm thinking it may be a TIPM problem since my batter is giving power to the auxilary lights but not the jeep itself

Pull the negative terminal first and reconnect last, save yourself grief.
